Join the Lab
Doctoral Trainees
Dr. Goodhines will not be recruiting graduate students for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Research Assistants (RA)
Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate research assistants work closely with graduate students in the lab. Specific tasks may include assisting with literature reviews, participant recruitment, data collection, and data entry. Students who have been in the lab for more than one semester and who have demonstrated competency in their tasks may also have the opportunity to present data at the UMaine Student Symposium or larger academic conferences and assist with manuscript preparation. Students are expected to commit to at least two semesters in the lab for at least 3 hours per week. UMaine students may receive course credit (PSY 492) for their work in the lab (1 credit = 3 hours) or may do so on a voluntary basis.
Qualified students may also have the opportunity to complete a capstone senior thesis project (PSY 494 or HON 499). Two semesters of lab service are required prior to requesting primary mentorship from Dr. Goodhines for these projects.
The Goodhines Lab is not currently accepting RA applications. Generally, when we are seeking RAs, we are seeking applicants who are (a) interested in researching health disparities affecting minoritized and under-served communities and/or (b) from the state of Maine to contribute to state-specific health research. Applications from UMaine undergraduate students in years 1-3 will be prioritized.
