Research Asst.

I might have an "in" to be a research assistant at Portland State! I talked to the graduate T.A. in one of my classes today and she said that she would talk to the head of her research team for me. They are looking for more people to apply. The head wants more guys (since they only have one right now) and then someone that can make a year long commitment. I am a guy (whoot!) and I definitely can make the time commitment, so I am sending off a resume and a writing sample to her. That would be such an awesome break if I was able to assist and join their team. I know right now they are doing a study on juvenile sexual offenders and recidivism, which is something that I am definitely interested in. Then I could get some research experience and use this on a grad school application. It's only something that we talked about for a few minutes but I am crossing my fingers!
