LCC members can apply to use the services of a 10-hour per week graduate research assistant for a short period of time (typically 4-6 weeks). Priority is given to projects that (a) have a life course or population studies focus, broadly construed; (b) can quickly result in a publication and/or grant proposal; (c) can clearly benefit from short-term research assistance; and (d) do not already have external funding. Preference will be given to junior faculty. This is a free service.
Short term RA service application is currently closed.
The following questions will appear on the application google form:
- Your name and departmental affiliation
- Details about your project: A title and a short (~2 paragraph) description of the overall project's goals and activities
- Describe the relevance or alignment of the project with the LCC research themes
- Information about the product that will result (e.g., a publication, a grant proposal, a conference presentation) and when that product will be produced
- A statement about current external funding support for the project
- A description of the specific activities the research assistant would do and (if not obvious) how they fit into the overall project
- Indicate in order of preference which of the upcoming time periods you request Short Term RA service. Each week is 10 hours. Exact start and end dates of RA service will depend on availability of the student.
- Dates TBD
