Research Assistants 

​Gain valuable experience in a fun work environment! Our lab explores the relationship between brain development and cognitive development. Responsibilities are geared toward students’ abilities and interests, and may include: working with parents and children, helping to design research studies, running experiments, engaging in community outreach, conducting literature reviews, and participating in scientific discussions in lab meetings. Prior experience with children, computers, and/or audio/visual equipment is a plus.

We typically ask for a minimum of six hours per week or 60 hours a quarter for at least two quarters. This allows you and the lab group to benefit from your training and skills. We accept students either as volunteers or working for credit. Each credit is equivalent to 30 hours of work per quarter.
