Research & Learning Opportunities

We welcome curious, motivated people into the lab. Whether you want to join an existing research project, design your own study, gain internship experience, or explore short-term volunteer work, there’s a path for you here.

Note: Research Credit involves joining an ongoing project for academic credit, while Independent Study means designing and leading your own project under faculty supervision. Internships focus on specific themes and skill development. Paid positions are limited and typically offered to students with prior lab experience or Federal Work-Study eligibility.
