The Integrative Cognition and Neuroscience Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park, is looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate research assistants.
Description:
The lab conducts research on the human brain and behavior to understand memory and cognition. We are curious about what constitutes the mind, how it is implemented in the brain, and how it relates to one's health. Our research is focused on memory, as it captures both the content (what we remember) and process (how we remember) of the mind, providing a solid foundation for us to understand more complex mental phenomena, such as affect, decision-making, social interaction, and mental health. You can read more about the Lab here.
Research Assistants will have the opportunity to gain experience in participant recruitment and behavioral/neural data collection for several ongoing research projects. Applicants who are interested in basic cognition or human neuroscience may be a good fit for the lab.
Requirements and Responsibilities:
-Commit 6-12 hours per week
-Enroll in PSYC379/479 or Neuroscience/Biology major equivalent.
-Availability for at least 4 consecutive semesters
-Assist with data collection (behavioral, EEG, fMRI)
-Attend weekly lab meetings
-Contribute and present conference posters
Qualifications:
-Excited and motivated about research in memory and human cognition.
-Major in Psychology, Neuroscience, or other related field
-Strong academic background (minimum 3.3 GPA)
-Strong communication, organizational, and professionalism skills
