Student Research Opportunities

The Center for Intervention Research in Schools (CIRS) is an internationally recognized, interdisciplinary research center that integrates training and service into all activities. Our goal is to improve the lives of children (early childhood through emerging adulthood) who struggle with emotional and behavioral challenges through school-based interventions and supports.

CIRS is home to highly productive faculty, representing four colleges and departments within 俄亥俄州 — The College of Arts and Science, Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Scripps College of Communications. CIRS is made up of four full-time staff members, 12 graduate students and multiple undergraduate research assistants.

CIRS has office space in 雅典 and Columbus. CIRS faculty have received over $29 million in federal grants (e.g., NIMH, NIAAA, IES, NSF, PCORI, CDC) since our inception in 2012.

Prospective Graduate Students

Students interested in engaging in the child-focused research within CIRS are accepted into the clinical psychology doctoral program each year. Students who are interested in applying to work with Dr. 埃文斯博士. 欧文斯博士. 艾伦和/或博士. Wymbs are encouraged to explore the information available on the website and on each faculty member’s research page.

CIRS offers research opportunities for undergraduate students throughout the academic year as well as a summer research experience for undergraduates through NSF.

Research Assistant Positions

  • structured observations of classrooms

Research assistants can also seize the opportunity to present research at conferences and contribute to the publication of journal articles.

Research Assistant Application Process

If you are interested in a research assistant position within CIRS, email Breanna Oswald, Clinical Research Coordinator of CIRS, to express your interest in a PSY 3940 position and include the following information:

  • A cover letter indicating why they are interested in a research assistant position
  • A resume or vita including contact information, current grade point average, 过去的研究, service or volunteer experience and courses completed
