The Affirm Lab (PI: Maggi Price, PhD) at the Boston College School of Social Work is looking for research assistants (ideally graduate students or exceptional undergraduates).

Our research focuses on improving support for youth with stigmatized identities (e.g., transgender youth, youth of Color). Our current studies are described on our research page. Initial RA responsibilities are reviewing and transcribing recorded focus group meetings. RAs will also have the opportunity to support with literature reviews, research tools (e.g. Zotero, Qualtrics), and participant interactions.
