Research opportunities
Undergraduate students have several ways of contributing to research conducted in the lab. Research opportunities include being a voluntary research assistant, taking a directed study class for course credit, and doing your capstone project in the lab. Occasionally, we also offer summer research assistantships. If you would like to know more about how you can take part of research in the lab, please contact Dr. Diogo Almeida for more information.
Undergraduates can also contribute to research in the lab by participating in experiments. We are always looking for participants. We conduct experiments both in the lab and online. In general, lab-based experiments offer compensation proportional to the time they require for completion and/or the inconvenience they might generate for the participant. Online experiments on the other hand can sometimes recruit students willing to participate on a voluntary basis.
Participating in research, either as a researcher or experimental subject, can be a very rewarding experience. You might gain unique insight in how production of new knowledge takes place, and how researchers gather and think about their data and its significance. Participating in research is also an important part of the experience of being a student in a research institution. You can learn more about the projects currently being run in the lab in the list below. A list of current experiments is also provided in the sidebar for your convenience.
