Dean Bottoms is looking for smart, motivated students to work as research assistants on a jury decision making study with her, Ms. Liana Peter-Hagene, and several other undergraduate research assistants beginning in May 2015, in Dr. Bottoms’ Psychology and Law Laboratory. One study focuses on implications of race and prejudice in decision making. All students will receive Honors College activity credit and departmental research credit. The research skills and experience gained would be applicable to many other research disciplines. You will have the opportunity to work on research that has direct implications for the justice system and to gain knowledge about the legal system as well as psychology. If you are interested, please complete the application attached and email it to Liana Peter-Hagene, Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Psychology, at cpeter26@uic.edu. Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis, so please apply soon to receive priority. The project will require you to be available during May and June 2015, and then in the Fall of 2015.
