Volunteer undergraduate research assistants
Please note that we are not currently recruiting new volunteer research assistants. You may still send us your application, it will be considered should positions become open soon.
Are you an undergraduate or recent grad living in Toronto interested in development, psychology, and neuroscience? Want to know more about how what it is like to do research? If you'd like to be considered for a position as a volunteer Research Assistant (RA), send this application form along with your CV/resume and unofficial transcript to us by email. Most of the positions in the lab are on a volunteer basis. We are particularly interested in applications from students considering PhD programs in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field. Computer science students are also welcome. It is never too early to start building up your research experience, so we encourage applications from first and second year students!
Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (PSY299Y and PSY399Y)
Applications to the ROP Program generally open up for a one month window between February and March. Apply through CLNx
Are you entering your second or third year at the University of Toronto and interested in how the developing brain remembers? An ROP is a great opportunity for students early in their academic careers to engage in an original research project with a professor in exchange for course credit. Students who apply to an ROP in Psychology would receive a full-course credit of PSY299Y or PSY399Y. Visit the Faculty of Arts and Science website for more information on ROPs.
