RA Match Form

Welcome to the UCF Psychology Department Research Assistant (RA) application website.

This website is intended to assist current UCF undergraduate students in finding a placement as a research assistant in one or more of the research laboratories of the department. After completing the following survey, your application will be placed on a waiting list for future openings in the research laboratories. You will be able to rank your preference for the laboratories that you have an interest in.

A description of the different laboratories can be found at: Lab Descriptions.

When a faculty member in charge of a particular laboratory has a need for a new RA, they will download the applications from this site to fill that opening. Please keep in mind that most of these positions are on an unpaid volunteer basis and there may be a considerable wait to hear back about an opening in a particular laboratory.
