Opportunities

The Cognitive Development Lab is looking for research assistants for the summer 2025 semester and beyond!

Students may work in the lab for Psychology 4998 course credit or as a volunteer. For every 3 hrs a week student works in the lab, they will be eligible for 1 Psych 4998 course credit (ex. 6 hrs a week would equal 2 Psych 4998 credits).  Students working in the lab are involved in a variety of research activities such as recruiting subjects, maintaining a participant database, running studies with undergraduate participants, interacting with parents and children, and using eye-tracking technology.  

Additional research opportunities are available to students who make a greater commitment to the lab and demonstrate responsibility as a member of the lab.  We encourage undergraduates to be actively involved in the intellectual life of the lab, and to that end we have various workshops in which students can learn graduate school application tips, interview techniques, and scientific reading and writing skills. 

To see if the lab would be a good fit for your research interests, please read about our current research and check out our recent publications before applying. 

To apply, please contact Michaela Miller (miller.9171@osu.edu) and Anzhelika Parenchuckn (parenchuck.1@osu.edu) and fill out the interest form.

What is OPEEP?

OPEEP is creating prison-to-college pathways by increasing access to higher education for incarcerated & justice-involved individuals. By bringing incarcerated students & campus students together for unique, collaborative courses inside Ohio prison facilities, we are cultivating a more informed, compassionate community at OSU and beyond.

OPEEP Believes:

• Healthy communities do not need prisons; they need access to quality education.
• Blackness, poverty, migration status, gender non- conformity, queerness, disability, & addiction are NOT crimes.
• Routes to higher education should be forged through compassion, collective practice, & community engagement.

Why take an OPEEP course?

The OPEEP class experience is like none other. OPEEP's courses across various academic disciplines are all grounded in collaborative, innovative, & transformative teaching & learning. Students of all backgrounds & fields of study benefit from the unique, profound impacts of learning in a prison context.

AU25 Course Offerings include:

• PSYCH 3312: Memory & Cognition
• HIST 3084 (Citizenship GE): Citizens Behind Bars
• EDUTL 2368 (Literature GE): Introduction to Children's Literature
• COMPSTD 2323: Intro to American Indian Studies (History OR Race, Gender, Diversity GE)
