Morality, blame, pain, God, cooperation, cheating and bioethics are among the topics explored by the Mind Perception and Morality. http://www.mpm.umd.edu/
Research assistants will both actively engage in research and be exposed to the latest and greatest research in morality and mind perception. Students will help with running participants, and depending on experience and inclination, can also get involved with research design and theory development. Lab meetings will be held on Monday evenings every couple of weeks and will involve presenting research and discussing papers and research methods.
Students will be expected to work ~10/hrs per week. There is a short paper due at the end of the semester, simply about your experiences in the lab. Enrollment is limited. Students will be selected based on prior grades, conscientiousness and enthusiasm.
Please send a resume, a brief statement of interest and a copy of your grades to Prof. Kurt Gray kurtgray@umd.edu
