Gain Research Experience in BSOS

The African American Studies Department is currently recruiting students to work with Dr. Oscar Barbarin, and Dr. Sophie Aiyer, in our newly founded lab, focusing on children of color. We are currently working on projects in the following areas: (a) math programs and interventions; (b) socioemotional development; (c) universal mental health screening; (d) using apps to promote math and reading proficiency. Further, we would like students to be capable of devoting a minimum of 3-5 hours per week to the lab. As lab members, students will gain experience in the following areas: working closely with both senior and junior faculty members; conducting comprehensive literature reviews; coding and entering data; manuscript writing and the review process.

If you are interested in applying, please contact either Dr. Barbarin (barbarin@umd.edu), or Dr. Aiyer (saiyer@umd.edu) with a brief description of your background and interests. We look forward to hearing from you!
