The Phan Lab in the Psychiatry Department is now accepting applications for undergraduate research assistants. Our work seeks to better understand how the brain impacts mood and behavior in order to innovate strategies to prevent and treat adults with mental illness. We use neuroscience measures and methods (e.g., fMRI, EEG) in adults to study the emotional brain and marry this approach with psychopharmacology, neuromodulation and intervention trials.
Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 8
Qualifications of a Student:
- Must be detail-oriented, hard-working, professional, reliable with good social skills. You will helping run our lab; therefore, your commitment and reliability are extremely important.
- Preference will be given to students who have an interest in neuroscience based research and can commit to the lab for 1 year or more.
- Prefer sophomores or above.
- Minimum GPA of 3.0.
Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
You will help administer and perform research-related tasks. These tasks may include assisting in subject recruitment, screening potential participants on the phone, scheduling participants, collecting psychophysiological data from participants, and processing data/data entry.
