For students interested in joining our team:

The ARMOR Project is looking for research assistants to help us advance our understanding of resilience!

The current longitudinal study examines processes contributing to resilience in military personnel. Research assistants who join the ARMOR Project will receive extensive training and gain hands-on experience conducting a large cohort study that utilizes evidence-based longitudinal tracking and survey methods. This is a volunteer position and requires a minimum of 10-12 hours per week commitment onsite at the Minneapolis VA and attendance at our weekly lab meeting. Students accepted to the lab can apply to receive research credit for the course PSY4993 after committing 2-3 months as a volunteer. We also accept applications from those participating in PSY 4994. Preference will be given to students who have a minimum GPA of 3.5, are available year-round, and are able to make a multiple-semester commitment. Veterans or those with experience working with veterans or the military may be given priority.

To apply, send an email with "ARMOR RA Position" in the subject line to the Project Coordinator, Amit Sethi, at [email protected] and CC Dr. Melissa Polusny, at [email protected]. Include your cover letter, resume/CV, and copies of your unofficial transcript.
