Prospective Interns (e.g., undergraduate or high school volunteers)
Prospective interns should have a specific research focus that aligns well with current and upcoming projects in the B-RAD Lab, which you can learn about here.
Qualities and qualifications valued in research assistants include, but are certainly not limited to: willingness and eagerness to learn; proactive work ethic; ability to work well independently and as part of team; time management; open and professional communication; enthusiasm to be involved in projects that interest you; academic excellence (GPA 3.5 or higher); prior RA experience, especially (though not necessarily) with children and/or clinical populations is highly recommended; must have strong interpersonal skills and be comfortable interacting with children and families.
NOTE: We are NOT currently accepting undergraduate research assistant applications.
Dr. Hudac will be starting a position at the University of South Carolina in Fall 2022, thus we are not currently accepting intern applications at the University of Alabama.

Frequently asked questions:
- What are the expectations? Intern applicants will preferably commit to 9 hours per week (i.e., 3 credits for undergraduates); if needed, a commitment of 6 hours per week (2 credits) may be considered. Usually, a one-year commitment is recommend, if not required.
- What if I do not have prior research experience? Experience in research before joining the B-RAD Lab can be extremely valuable. However, I also consider other experience that prospective students have that is relevant to your research interest and/or includes hands-on experience with the population you are interested in. Research assistants with and without prior research experience both have plentiful opportunities to learn.
- What if I am not a Psychology major? It is not essential that prospective undergraduate research assistants major in Psychology. That said, experience related to the area of Psychology you are interested in, and that overlaps with the B-RAD Lab's research, can compensate for that. Additionally, some Psychology coursework and demonstrated knowledge of the field is necessary.
