Join the Lab
Doctoral Trainees
Dr. Goodhines is reviewing graduate applications this cycle in collaboration with Dr. Cara Struble (joint mentorship, Goodhines primary). Applicants with interests in social determinants of health behaviors that align with the lab’s current research are invited to apply. Although all aligned applicants are encouraged to apply, there is particular interest in recruiting for intersectional transgender health and addiction content areas.

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.
RA applications are now CLOSED for the 2026-2027 academic year. Please check back again at a later time.
