Recruitment: LEED regularly recruits motivated undergraduate students on a rolling basis throughout the academic year and summer sessions. Students eager to work directly with parents, infants, and toddlers in a dynamic research setting are especially encouraged to apply! 

What we do: Students in the lab gain real-world experience collecting infant and dyadic behavioral, EEG, and physiological data while contributing to research on early brain and socio-emotional development. This is an excellent opportunity for students considering graduate school, especially in research-focused careers in psychology, neuroscience, or related fields. We especially encourage applications from students interested in working with infants and young children. Because we are an interdisciplinary lab, we also encourage applications from students in psychology, computer science, engineering, and related fields. Research positions are filled on a rolling basis, depending on availability. Some data-collection sessions occur in the evenings and on weekends, so occasional availability outside standard weekday hours is required. We use a wide range of tools and methods to address our research questions, including behavioral coding, signal processing, and data analysis with Bash, R, Python, and MATLAB. Students who already have—or are eager to develop—these computational and analytical skills are often a great fit for our lab. Students will have opportunities to contribute to the collection and processing of EEG, physiological, neuroimaging, and behavioral data across multiple projects, and potentially contribute to posters or manuscripts through independent projects and a thesis.
