When teaching UG courses, Dr. Bennett often relies heavily on junior and senior UGs to provide guidance for students in her classes. Depending on the semester, she may require assistance from up to 4 UGs. UGs interested in assisting as a teach assistant should have completed the course, earned an A, be comfortable with the material to hold office hours\/review sessions, and be interested in helping peers excel in the course. It requires a 9 hour\/week commitment and students who have taken the course with me are preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are, please complete this application<\/a> and send it as an attachment along with your unofficial transcript verifying your letter grade for the course you’d like to assist with to jbenne70@uncc.edu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n StressWAVES BRL provides an opportunity for UGs to get hands on experience in biobehavioral research. Research assistants will be trained in appropriate ethical research standards as well as the collection, processing, and storage of biological samples like saliva or plasma\/serum. UGs are often responsible for guiding participants through the research protocols – giving UGs first hand experience with consenting and interviewing participants, and creating a inviting environment while balancing scientific rigor. UGs having more biological based skills may afford them the opportunity to assist with cell culture, functional immune assays, gene expression, and enzyme-linked immunosorbant-assays (ELISAs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n **Important Note: UGs interested in volunteering (meaning not seeking credit) are welcome to apply to my lab. Some of my best research assistants were those who were not interested in receiving credit, but gaining experience.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interested?<\/p>\n\n\n\nPSYC 3806 credit: Research Assistantship (1-3 credit hours)<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
