The Social Cognition Lab at UT Austin (directed by Dr. Bertram Gawronski) is searching for undergraduate research assistants (PSY 357) for a project on susceptibility to political misinformation. The primary task includes the preparation of a data base of real and fake news with differing political slant. All tasks can be completed remotely. The position would be particularly valuable for someone who is interested in applying to graduate programs in social psychology. Credit can be obtained for PSY 357.
