Hi, I'd like some advice on whether the following situation is normal. I am in a clinical psychology PhD program. My advisor runs huge numbers of participants and expects the graduate students in her lab (we enter tied to a specific PI) to run those participants. This semester so far I have spent on average ~10 hours a week on lab work, plus more time (~5hours) a week on lab meetings and lab side projects. However, despite this, we are not necessarily on a research assistantship, but rather are expected to teach as well (another 20 hour/week commitment). I have never heard of this kind of situation, is this common?
Thanks!
