Interested Undergraduates

The id Lab is always looking for people interested in helping with our research. Research assistants (RAs) contribute to the lab in a variety of ways, including conducting experimental studies, coding videos of participant behavior and recruiting interested families.

We help train each new RA to be proficient in all these tasks and encourage RAs to work for multiple semesters in the lab.
