Prospective Undergraduate Students

We mainly have Research Assistant (RA) positions open up in the summer and fall. However, there are sometimes opportunities for new RAs to join the lab in the spring as well. Typically, RAs are either volunteers or receive class credit and are required to commit to at least 10 hours/week. These positions go very quickly, so it is important that you apply early. We generally review applications for the summer and fall in April. Applications for the spring are reviewed in November, during the second half of the fall semester.

RAs have the opportunity to help out with study design, recruiting families, running the experiments, and analyzing data. Additionally, RAs have the opportunity (and are expected) to attend a lab meeting every two weeks, where we discuss both practical and theoretical issues related to the research.

Unfortunately, we are not accepting any new RAs for the Spring 2026 semester. Thank you to everyone who applied!

If you are interested in being considered for Summer or Fall 2026, please fill out our new application using the “Apply Here” button. You are welcome to use the same resume and cover letter or submit updated materials.

Thank you!
