Duties vary but typically include assisting with running laboratory sessions, collecting EEG data (i.e., "brain waves") and performing data entry and quality control.

The Office of Undergraduate Research offers various opportunities for students to showcase and develop their research skills. These include fellowships, the Research in the Capitol event, the Quick Pitch Challenge, and the Spring Undergraduate Research Festival (SURF). Each event provides a platform for students to present their work, receive feedback, and prepare for professional development.

Students in this lab will have the opportunity to assist data collection in behavioral, sleep EEG or MRI experiments, organize and maintain databases, and aid in preprocessing of data. They may receive training on EEG and MRI data acquisition, sleep scoring, RedCap, and MRI safety. This is an attractive position for those who are interested in pursuing graduate careers in neuroscience, clinical or cognitive psychology in the future. There is opportunity to conduct honor theses if the student’s research interest aligns with the goals of our lab, and they demonstrate commitment and excellence.
