RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
We currently do not have any paid research assistant positions available. However, we often have volunteer research assistant opportunities for people with an interest in child clinical research. Volunteers are expected to commit at least 10 hours per week. Summer volunteers will be required to commit between 15-20 hours per week for both summer sessions. Please note that most students will be required to make a two-semester commitment to working in the lab. However, participation in the second semester is contingent upon the student’s progress during the first semester. Research assistants work closely with our research team (which includes faculty, graduate students, and other research assistants). Duties vary but can include assisting with participant recruitment; helping with laboratory studies; coding, entering, and analyzing data; and helping to present study results at professional meetings and in truckscientific publications.

GRADUATE STUDENTS
The Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin has an outstanding graduate program in clinical psychology. Graduate students join our laboratory through acceptance to the clinical psychology program. I encourage individuals interested in a career as a clinical scientist to apply to our program. You can find more information about our clinical program on the Department of Psychology website. Graduate students actively participate in our ongoing research projects. They are also strongly encouraged to develop and implement their own independent research projects. If you you are interested working in our laboratory, and/or if you have specific questions about applying to the clinical psychology program at the University of Texas, please contact Dr. Rebecca Neal.  Dr. Neal does not plan to admit a graduate student during the next admission cycle, and please do not email her to double check this information.

COLLABORATORS
We are always interested in working with other laboratories, researchers, and clinicians. Please contact Dr. Rebecca Neal to discuss possible collaborative projects.
