Research Opportunities
The Communication and Cognitive Systems Lab is looking for RAs for AU25. Research assistants will learn/gain experience on all of the following: generating experimental stimuli, conducting lab experiments, running participants on both eye tracking and behavioral studies, and analyzing data.
The lab welcomes motivated and enthusiastic individuals interested in learning about the research process. They prefer individuals with excellent organizational skills with keen attention to details. All majors are welcome. Must commit to 10 hours a week in the lab over two semesters.
I am Dr. Choe, a Ph.D. from the Univ. of Southern California in Psychology. I have some exciting research opportunities, about a topic I have been researching: intrusive and emotionally manipulative parenting called parental psychological control. I am looking for:
- Spanish-speaking students or Korean-speaking students to run family studies (on Zoom, observation, interview, and questionnaires) with Mexican immigrant families or Korean American families
- Thorough/organized undergraduate students whom I can guide to systematically summarize articles (e.g., read articles critically, capture important information, organize them into a table) in order to write theoretical manuscripts.
- Students who want to come to doctoral programs in Psychology or mental health or addiction fields (will most benefit from this RA-ship).
- Those who can commit to research longer-term (e.g., 2 years) would be preferred (so freshmen are especially welcomed), and at least a year commitment is required.
- All remote work.
- Students who took an intro psychology course can benefit from it, but it is not required.
I have been mentoring undergraduate students for 19 years. I teach the necessary skills for research (such as how to review the literature, how to organize crucial information, how to clean and analyze data, etc.), and I also mentor students based on students' needs and my experiences in both academia and industry.

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
