Undergraduate research

Undergraduate research assistants (RAs) are a crucial part of any psychology lab. Working as a RA is a great opportunity to learn more about psychology and neuroscience and to develop both the “soft skills” and technical skills that are useful for any STEM profession. RAs will have the opportunity to learn more about research methods and current directions in cognitive neuroscience, as well as the programming and data analysis skills that complement our experimental work. This can be valuable training for students interested in pursuing graduate school in any field, including (but not limited to) cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology. For students with existing skills in data science or computer science, our lab can also offer unique opportunities to develop tools for cognitive neuroscience research.

We accept students who are enrolling in 196A or 196B for research course credit, as well as volunteers on a case-by-case basis. We occasionally have paid positions available. If you are specifically interested in the PROPS program or in completing a senior thesis, please indicate that on your application.

During each quarter, we interview for any openings that we have for the following quarter. Positions are very limited. If you are interested in joining us, please submit an application.
