Prospective Student (undergraduate and masters) Research assistants please complete the following application:

If you’re interested in joining as a Research Assistant (RA), we invite you to fill out the application. The application can be used to apply to the Global Mental Health and Addiction Program (GMAP) and/or Center for Substance Use, Addiction & Health Research (CESAR), both led by Dr. Jessica Magidson. 

Undergraduate and Master's level student RA positions are available for course credit (typically 3 credits for undergraduates) or on a voluntary basis. Credits earned may be used to fulfill elective and program credit requirements (e.g., BSOS, PSYC, HLTH, PHSC). Specific research responsibilities vary based on the project(s) an RA works on and what stage the project(s) are in at the time. An attempt to match RAs with projects that align most closely with their interests is typically made when feasible. 

All applications will be held on file and reviewed when we have openings for RA position(s). If you have any questions about GMAP, CESAR, or technical problems filling out this application, please email gmap-cesar-apply@umd.edu.
