Prospective Undergraduate Research Assistants
We are not currently accepting applications for undergraduate research assistant positions for the Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 academic year. Please check back in Spring 2026 for potential openings for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Ideally, research assistants will be able to commit to working in the lab for a minimum of 2 consecutive semesters, be available to work 6-9 hours/week, and attend regular lab meetings. We are particularly interested in first- and second-year students who have the potential to be on our team for multiple years. Research assistants have opportunities to obtain hands-on training in every stage of the research process, from study design and participant recruitment to data collection and analysis/interpretation, depending on the lab’s current needs.
Our lab meetings are on Mondays, 1:00 - 2:15 pm. All RAs must be able to attend lab meetings. Please ensure you are available at this time before applying.
