Level UP: CSVR Project Research Assistant, Stage 1 (Sep-Oct 2022)

I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to develop a literature review, ethics application, and an online experiment to examine perceived risk factors for perpetration of campus sexual violence. The student would learn how to conduct a literature review on risk factors related to gender based violence and campus sexual violence, develop stimuli for an online experiment, contribute to completing an ethics application, and build the online experiment through a survey platform (i.e., Qualtrics). The goal of this research project is to engage undergraduate students in the development of an experiment that would examine student perceptions of campus sexual violence risk factors. The goal of this project for a student research assistant is to learn how to develop experiments to examine an empirical research question in the social sciences.

Level UP: CSVR Project Research Assistant, Stage 2 (Nov-Dec 2022)

I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to implement and oversee an experiment, write components of a research experiment (e.g., method, results), conduct data cleaning and organizing, and carry out statistical data analyses for a project that examines perceived risk factors for perpetration of campus sexual violence. The student would learn how to write an APA-formatted literature review on risk factors related to gender based violence and campus sexual violence, experimental method section, and statistical data analyses results section. The student would also learn (1) how to extract data from a survey platform (i.e., Qualtrics), and (2) how to engage in data cleaning, organizing, and analyses, using SPSS. The goal of this research project is to engage undergraduate students in the development of an experiment that would examine student perceptions of campus sexual violence risk factors.

Level UP: CSVR Project Research Assistant, Stage 3 (Jan-Feb 2023)

I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to develop research dissemination plans and execute these plans in both written and presentation forms for a series of projects that examine risk assessment and perceived risk factors for perpetration of campus sexual violence. The student would learn how to contribute to manuscripts related to gender based violence and campus sexual violence (literature review, methodology, statistical analyses and results, and discussion), and develop and prepare academic presentations in various formats. Some duties may include conducting data cleaning and organizing and carrying out statistical data analyses. The student would learn (1) how to write APA-formatted empirical manuscripts, and (2) how to build effective research presentations. The goal of this research project is to engage undergraduate students in the knowledge mobilization of empirical research that examines perceptions of campus sexual violence risk factors.

Psychology Crime Lab @ MacEwan - Research Lab Manager

I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to manage the Psychology Crime Lab @ MacEwan (PCL@M). The PCL@M has multiple research studies focused on violence prevention, intervention, and management, using a number of methodologies that include online experiments, archival data coding study, and police record review and data collection research, as well as reviews of the literature on related topics. The student would learn how to both engage in various aspects of these studies and oversee and delegate tasks for these studies given they would be at various stages in the research process. The student would gain skills in managing empirical research, collaborating with other students researchers, and corresponding with other community partner organizations, particularly in law enforcement. The goal of this project for a student research assistant is to learn how to manage a research program with multiple studies to examine forensic psychological research questions.
