Researcher: Wenting Mu, M.S., Ph.D. Candidate

Faculty Sponsor: Howard Berenbaum

Affiliated Lab: Emotion Regulation Lab, Division of Clinical Psychology

Position description:

The Emotion Regulation lab is looking for Psych 290 undergraduate research assistants for projects investigating the relationship between self-related emotion processes (e.g., emotion of shame) and psychopathology such as depression and anxiety disorders. We are interested in how the regulation (or dysregulation) of such emotional processes contributes to the development and maintenance of psychological disorders. Research assistants will be trained in running studies, data collection, and data management, skills that are valuable if you consider graduate schools in psychology after graduation. Given this is a 2-credit PSYC 290 position, seven hours of laboratory work are expected each week.

How to apply:

If you are interested, please contact Wenting Mu at wmu4@illinois.edu. Please briefly introduce yourself and answer the following questions in your e-mail:

·         What is your major

·         Year in school?

·         What is your GPA?

·         What are your past research experiences?

·         Importantly, please also provide a list of your available hours during the time frame of 9-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Feel free to let me know if you have any question regarding this 290 position. I look forward to your application.
