Job Description

Dr. M. Alejandra Arce is seeking a part-time Lab Assistant to begin in September 2026 with the IMPACTO research team in the Department of Psychology at UC Riverside. This is a one-year position with the potential for renewal based on funding, lab needs, and performance. At IMPACTO (impacto.ucr.edu), we use science to advocate for and advance the well-being of immigrant and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) youth and families. Our research identifies and promotes factors that foster resilience and resistance against oppression using strengths-based, community-engaged approaches to directly benefit these communities. The Lab Assistant will support research and community projects focused on immigrant and BIPOC youth development and well-being. Key administrative responsibilities include recruiting, interviewing, and managing undergraduate research assistants; handling IRB submissions, material transfer agreements, data user agreements, and security protocols; maintaining data storage systems; managing scheduling and ordering; and fostering an inclusive lab culture. Research responsibilities include conducting literature reviews, managing data entry and coding, preparing data for analysis, ensuring rigor and reproducibility, and co-authoring conference posters and manuscripts. This position is ideal for a highly motivated individual planning to pursue an advanced degree in psychology or a related field with a commitment to immigrant and BIPOC well-being and justice.

The full salary range for the Lab Assistant is $27.04 - 32.31 per hour. However, the expected pay scale for this position is up to $28.13 per hour. We base salary offers on a variety of considerations, such as education, licensure and certifications, experience, and other business and organizational needs.
Applicants must have current work authorization when accepting a UCR staff position. Currently, we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for staff.
As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government directives may impose additional requirements.
