Project M.E.D.I.A. is looking for Research Assistants and coders who are passionate and reliable to be on our team! Any major or year in school is encouraged to apply. Previous experience with coding is a plus, but not mandatory.

We are especially interested in students who speak Spanish, as there is a large Hispanic population in the Denver area.

Project M.E.D.I.A (Media Effects on Development from Infancy to Adulthood) is a longitudinal study examining the effects of media (phone usage, social media, TV, books, etc.) on childhood & adolescent development. We recruited nearly 500 participants for our study, and this year we will be following up with them and collecting more exciting data.

We will be housed in a beautiful apartment complex in the Denver-Metro area. The project subsidizes housing, and for 2024, rent will be free for all Denver RAs! You will still be responsible for paying utilities and internet.

Denver is an awesome place to live and work. Not only is this a great education and work experience; Project MEDIA is a wonderful opportunity to make life time friends. There are amusement parks, hikes, national and state parks, amazing food, history, and many other activities to facilitate friendship. The YSA ward is also amazing and welcome us every year with open arms. This is a great opportunity you won't want to miss!

Four meetings with the student leaders will be held to answer questions about the project. If you are unable to attend and have questions, please send us an email at
