Prof. Jenny Ulla
Positions available: 1
Standing: Sophomore, Junior and Senior
I am running a study sometime in the Spring that will likely require 4-5 hours a day for 1 to 2 weeks. It will be one or two weeks that will not begin earlier than 2/1/2025 and no later than 5/31/2025.
Responsibilities: The RA will need to run the behavioral lab sessions for a week or two. Students will come in, sit in front of a computer and take a survey. The RA will need to set up the lab for the students, which entails putting an envelope of documents and a calculator at each station. The RA will also at the end of each session set up the lab for the next session. At the end of the day, the RA will need to collect all items, and I will collect it from them. They will also need to save the files on each desktop at the end of the day. The most important responsibility is to save the files that are on each desktop to a specified location!
Skillset desired and additional information: Paid. This will expose you to how accounting research is conducted and provide you with experience on running an accounting experiment.
