The Georgia Attitude, Bias, and Behavior Acquisition (GABBA) Lab is looking for undergraduate research assistants who are interested in gaining research experience in social psychology and/or with the study or racial attitudes and biases. 

Our current projects examine attitudes toward interracial couples and the impact of awareness of historical racial injustices. We are seeing undergraduate research assistants for summer 2026 and fall 2026 (ideally those who are interested in staying with the lab for multiple semesters). 

Strong work ethic and careful attention to detail are important qualities for this position. Research assistants will be responsible for conducting qualitative interviews, transcribing recorded conversations, tracking and organizing data files, and engaging in qualitative coding of conversational data. This opportunity is perfect for anyone who would like more experience in data collection or is interested in the research process or graduate school. 

You should be able to commit 9 (or more) hours per week. To learn more about the work we do in the lab, visit the GABBA Lab website. You can submit an application by clicking this link (also available on the "join us" tab on the lab website). If you have questions or would like to reach out to Dr. Skinner directly, you can email her at allison.skinner@uga.edu.
