(Remote Internship) A Collaborative Study of Health Psychology Literature
Join an interdisciplinary, transnational group of researchers who have been iteratively developing and executing research on a large-scale, online collaborative platform called 1Cademy. This team will be investigating recent literature on various topics in health psychology. Over time, we will aim to narrow down our research to a specific topic with the goal of conducting our own study. By joining our team, you will be able to:
- Develop key research skills, such as paper analysis, summarization, and making connections between disciplines
- Explore recent health psychology literature, with topics including (but not limited to): Behavioral therapies for medical disorders, race and gender in healthcare, mental health, or the psychological component of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
- Experience a flexible and collaborative work environment, with all work being done remotely
- Work towards publishing research on health psychology.
Qualifications
- Knowledge and interest in topics related to the field of health psychology
- Fluency in reading and writing in English (written summaries of research articles necessary)
- Ability to work successfully in a collaborative environment and willingness to present findings to the team each week.
Responsibilities
- Regularly study textbooks and research papers, summarize them, and add notes to the collaborative platform
- Must be prepared and excited to collaborate with our team of computer scientists, web developers, UX researchers, UI designers, epidemiologists, and cognitive and behavioral scientists.
- Attend weekly meetings and engage in meaningful discussion about the articles presented.
Note: Participation is unpaid, solely for the purpose of improving research and education, and this position meets US Department of Labor Federal Internship Guidelines.
