Overview

Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development – leafbyleaf.org

The Lab for Expanding Access for Families (LEAF Lab), directed by Dr. Jenna Sung, is seeking an Undergraduate Research Assistant to join an active, grant-funded project supported by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). This study focuses on developing and evaluating a brief, digital intervention for caregivers of individuals with OCD, with the goal of expanding access to evidence-based mental health care.

This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in counseling/clinical psychology, digital mental health, or applied intervention research.

RAs will receive hands-on training and mentorship in all stages of applied clinical research. Key responsibilities may include:
– Conducting and transcribing participant interviews
– Assisting with participant recruitment and follow-up communication
– Managing study data and documentation
– Supporting the development and testing of digital intervention content
– Attending lab meetings and contributing to study discussions

While the RA will work primarily on the IOCDF-funded project, the LEAF has multiple ongoing research studies on scalable mental health interventions. Students will have the opportunity to become involved across projects and, if desired, pursue independent or mentored research.
