Undergraduate Research Assistants

The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab welcomes applications for volunteer research assistants. Primary responsibilities will include: recruiting and scheduling study participants, testing participants (children and adults), and assisting with behavioral/MRI data analysis. The ideal candidate will have an interest in cognitive or developmental psychology, be self-motivated, organized, and able to work well independently and in groups. Good communication and interpersonal skills are also essential. Programming experience is a plus (especially in MATLAB, Python, or shell scripting). Previous research experience is not necessary. Undergraduate research assistants register for 3 course credits per semester and are required to make a 2-semester commitment. They work in the laboratory at least 10 hours per week and attend weekly lab meetings. To apply, please fill out the application form and email it to us along with your transcript at marina.bedny@jhu.edu.
