Glad to hear that you are interested.

A little more about the research assistant opportunities in our lab:

We are looking for undergraduate students who are intrinsically interested in personality and social psychology and would like to learn to work with cognitive and neurophysiological measures. In particular, RAs will be assisting in the running various types of experiments, including those recording brain activity (EEG/ERP). A description of the type of research that is undertaken in our lab can be found on our lab website (http://people.psych.cornell.edu/~pac_lab).

Given that it takes some time to learn neurophysiological methodology, the RA position involves a minimum two semester commitment (Fall and Spring semesters) and enrolling in 3 credits of undergraduate research each semester (3 credits translates into approximately 9 hours per week). RAs will learn about all aspects of running EEG/ERP and cognitive/behavioral studies, from subject recruitment to instructing subjects to affixing electrode caps. RAs will also be required to attend lab meetings, where we will talk about research in and outside of the lab.

If you are interested in applying for an RA position, we would like to learn a little more about you. Please respond to the questions below in a new document and email them to us at .

We can then set up a time to meet shortly thereafter.

Best,

Vivian
