Undergraduate Research Assistants

Prospective Undergraduate Students

The NICE lab generally includes 5-15 undergraduate research assistant every semester. These students register for 3 credits of Psy 5993, Research Lab in Psychology, which involves nine hours of lab-related work per week for the semester. 

Interested students should contact Dr. Moin Syed ([email protected]) for an application.  After you submit your application, you may be contacted for an in person interview. Please be aware that there are typically many more applicants than available spaces, so applying and interviewing does not guarantee that you will ultimately be selected to participate in the lab. Decisions about fall positions are typically made in April, and decisions for spring positions are typically made in November.  The NICE lab does not generally employ research assistants during the summer months.

Due to the fact that there are more applicants than available spaces, the NICE lab does not generally allow volunteer research assistants from other departments or universities. We do not have enough space to accommodate our own students, so it is not fair to offer spaces to those outside the department.
