This Research Assistant position is a voluntary (unpaid) position, although in some rare occasions it may be tied to course credit after discussion with the Lab Director (Dr. Jen Nickelson). There are expectations that the Research Assistant will participate in weekly meetings, give research and educational presentations to others in the lab, and conduct supervised research outside of our weekly meetings. This is a great opportunity to gain research skills and learn more about breastfeeding and infant nutrition. You do not need to have any experience conducting research to apply for the position.
