APA Summer Undergraduate Research Experience

The Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh is pleased to announce its Summer Undergraduate Psychology Research Experience (SUPRE) Program, supported by a grant from the American Psychological Association.  Interested undergraduate students can spend 8 weeks working with a faculty mentor in their laboratory to gain valuable research experience. Students may choose to work with one of the following faculty mentors:

Lauren Hallion
Tristen Inagaki
Jana Iverson
Melissa Libertus
Anna Marsland
Edward Orehek
Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal

The program will run from June 4 – July 27, 2018 (though some flexibility in starting and ending dates may be possible).  Students will be hired as full-time, paid research assistants ($12/hour, minus taxes) in their mentor’s lab during the 8 weeks of the program.
