**NOTE: Students must be approved for the 2024-25 Work-Study program in order to be hired for this position. The Work-Study Student Application form is available online here**:Work Study Program Application | Awards | The University of Winnipeg**

Research Assistants are normally students, in a University of Winnipeg undergraduate program, employed to assist with tasks related to research. Work is performed within defined guidelines and under supervision of a more senior researcher or faculty member.

**Position Overview**:
The main RA duties involve statistical analysis of three recently completed studies. The RA will conduct a fourth experiment as a follow-up study.

The first 2 experiments focused on the music-emotion of nostalgia. In (1), we compared nostalgic music to happy vs. sad music. In (2) we determined whether nostalgia differed when evoked by music associated with positive vs. negative memories.

The third study (just completed) focused on emotional reactions to spiritual music vs. popular music. This study included personality scales reflecting spirituality to determine how scores on spirituality correlate with reactions to spiritual music.

One unique features of my research is that all the musical excerpts were pre-selected by the participants rather than the experimenter. After a participant listened to the musical excerpt we played for them, they filled out an emotion-rating scale comprised of 33 emotion terms, rating each item on an intensity scale from 1 to 7.

**Duties**:

- The RA must have completed PSYC-4100(6), Intermediate Research Design and Data Analysis. The required statistical analyses are expected to utilize the skills acquired in that course.
- The RA will be co-supervised with Dr. Mike Haldorson who collaborated with me on all three studies and also co-supervised my previous RA.
- The RA may also be required to do a literature search for pertinent studies.
- The expected follow-up study emerging out of Study#3 will be designed in collaboration with the RA. Our experience suggests that a meaningful conceptual contribution might warrant co-authorship of a publishable paper.

**Qualifications**:

- The RA must have completed PSYC-4100(6), Intermediate Research Design and Data Analysis. The required statistical analyses are expected to utilize the skills acquired in that course

**Condition(s) of Employment**:

- Must be legally entitled to work in Canada.
- Students must be approved for the 2024-25 Work-Study program. Students may be eligible for the Work-Study Program if they meet **all **of the following criteria:
- Currently an undergraduate or graduate student (PACE and ELP students are currently ineligible);-
