Prof. David DeSteno’s Social Emotions Lab is looking for a summer research volunteer to help us in both experiment preparation and data analysis. Responsibilities would mainly consist of editing videos for use in future experiments (mostly clipping videos), as well as coding recorded videos for nonverbal behavior. Past experience with video editing software is appreciated, but not required. Hours in the lab would be quite flexible and self-scheduled, and could be worked during Summer I or Summer II. Hours per week would not exceed 10 hours. Anyone interested should contact Leah Dickens at dickens.l@husky.neu.edu.
