This event will highlight the options for aspiring research assistants (RA) and the interview process. It is aimed at those who wish to apply to RA roles in the future, newly graduated from psychology degrees, and curious members and non-members of the Psychological Society of Ireland. The main speaker is Professor Suzanne Guerin who has a lot of experience in research and working with research assistants. Due to the vast areas RA’s are employed in, there will be opportunities for current attendees to ask questions regarding different areas and questions specific to the typical interview and hiring process.
