Description:
How do hormones interact with social situation to influence behavior? It is thought that people with high levels of testosterone are more interested in status and dominance than those with low levels of testosterone. Under what conditions is this the case? How are humans similar to other mammals in the influence of hormones on behavior? How does status-seeking behavior vary according to competition, rewards and hormone levels? If you are interested in these topics you will enjoy research in our lab!
Qualifications:
We’re looking for students who are interested and willing to collaborate with us on this topic. We need people who are motivated, responsible and enthusiastic.
Duties:
The research assistant will help with all aspects of the study including planning, reading relevant articles, scheduling sessions and collecting data, data entry and analysis. We need people who can run studies in the lab and attend lab meetings. You will learn how to interact with subjects, how to analyze peoples’ hormone levels and how to run some statistical analyses. You will be working closely with graduate students and other 357 students.
