What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a junior research or research support role where I can contribute to ongoing projects, develop my methodological skills and grow through hands-on research experience.

At the University of Copenhagen’s VR Learning Lab, I participated in experimental research at the intersection of psychology, learning and immersive technologies. I supported participant procedures and data collection, providing standardised instructions and guidance within the research protocol.

During practical training at the Applied Psychology Laboratory at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, I received introductory training in research methods, interviewing techniques, psychometric tools and research ethics.

On the Climate Quilts collaboration at Blivande House, I participated in research exploring community involvement in co-designing green spaces. I contributed to discussions and activities about sense of place, social inclusion, biodiversity and human–environment relationships.

As a volunteer Expression Group co-facilitator at SOPSY, I helped facilitate creative activities and group interaction, with weekly supervision.

I’m looking for a junior research or research support role where I can contribute to ongoing projects, develop my methodological skills and gain hands-on research experience.
