Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
Getting involved in research is a great way to learn more about a topic that interests you. Research experience is also excellent preparation for graduate school. The Center for Early Cognition and Language is always looking for new undergraduate research assistants to help with our research. We need reliable, energetic students who are comfortable working with young children.
Students participate in many aspects of the research process including:
-
Designing experimental materials
-
Subject recruitment
-
Running experiments with children and adults
-
Coding children’s eye-movements and actions from video
Students can volunteer in the lab, or they can enroll for undergraduate research credit (PSY 195) for up to 3 units. Students who enroll for credit in the Spring or Fall must work 3 hours a week per unit (i.e. 3 units = 9 hours per week). In the Summer, students work 6 hours per week per unit.
If you are interested in working in the lab, please contact Professor Rose Scott at rscott@ucmerced.edu for further information.
