Team Member Qualifications:
Applicants should demonstrate strong attention to detail and familiarity with APA 7th edition formatting. In their initial email, students must include their standard weekly availability and clearly specify which project they are applying for, as this team leader oversees multiple KRSP projects. The research team currently meets Thursdays from 8:00–8:30 AM EST (virtual), though alternative meeting times may be arranged if needed. Research responsibilities may include statistical data work, transcription (listening to and correcting recorded data), and data collection. Students are expected to complete CITI training, possess basic research experience, and demonstrate a strong eagerness to learn while understanding that some tasks require significant time and attention. Timely and professional communication is essential, and students must respond to emails within 72 hours unless otherwise communicated; failure to meet this expectation may result in removal from the team due to the time-sensitive nature of some research activities.
