RESEARCH POSITIONS

Pain Psychology (Research)
Location: Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, MD) and virtual
Weekly Commitment: 4-12 hours per week; days and hours adjustable to fit your schedule

Join a vibrant research team at Johns Hopkins focused on the psychology of chronic pain. We are particularly interested in how affective experiences (e.g., emotion regulation) can affect the experience of pain and be harnessed in treatment to improve pain-related outcomes. This externship offers psychology graduate students the chance to gain hands-on research experience tailored to their interests and availability. There are numerous potential opportunities available, including clinical trials, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research tracking daily pain and emotion regulation, quantitative sensory testing (QST) to approximate pain sensitivity in the laboratory, and opportunity to participate in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Externs have opportunities to participate in scientific writing, presentations, and co-author publications, depending on their commitment and investment. This externship is ideal for psychology graduate students seeking to gain experience in pain psychology research, novel therapeutic approaches, and/or advanced research methods in a supportive and collaborative environment.
