| Nearly every semester, we
offer undergraduates the opportunity to get involved in our
research. We are looking for highly motivated individuals
who are interested in learning about human factors and aging
research. By obtaining "hands on" research experience in our
lab, undergraduate assistants often find ways to apply what
they have learned in the classroom to the real world. For
those thinking about attending graduate school, research
experience is often an invaluable consideration for your
personal evaluation of whether you like research and to
support your graduate school application.
Undergraduate lab assistants may sign up for two
different courses: 2901 (1st and 2nd year students) and 4901
(3rd and 4th year students). We encourage students to
register for 2 - 4 hours (1 credit hour equals 3 hours of
work per week). For your initial semester in the lab, we
will assign you to primarily work with one graduate student
to support their individual research. You can get an idea
of current projects on our
projects page and of graduate student interests by clicking on
their names from the left side of this page. We also
encourage dedicated students to work with us over multiple
semesters, and if they are interested, we often have senior
thesis projects available (you may come up with your own
research ideas or work off of an existing project).
Your letter grade will depend on successfully completing
your hourly requirements and your dependability and
willingness to work on projects.
