Volunteer In The Lab
Volunteering in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Thought Lab is a rewarding position in that you will gain experience in a lab and work setting as well as valuable insight into research methods. We are looking for motivated individuals whose presence will be beneficial to overall lab productivity. Therefore lab members are expected to participate and contribute in group efforts as well as being capable of working independently towards personal and lab goals. Members must be able to quickly learn the concept of experimental design, data collection, and analysis. Lastly, volunteers must be relatively computer savvy as all work is done on computers. Programming experience is not necessary but would be extremely beneficial as it is essential for this line of research.
Applications should be sent to christofflab@psych.ubc.ca with the following informaion:
- A letter detailing your interests, intentions, and capabilities.
- A resum in Microsoft Word, PDF, or HTML format.
Please note that due to the volume of applications we might not have time to respond to all requests.
Lab Volunteer Policy:
Volunteers are evaluated one month after joining the lab and at the end of each academic session to review the individual's accomplishments.
Graduate Students
Graduate level applicants are typically reviewed shortly after the formal admissions deadline (Jan 15). If you are interested in volunteering prior to that time, please read the information for volunteers presented above. Please indicate your intentions and that you wish to eventually do graduate work.
Post-docs
Potential post-doctoral candidates are encouraged to contact us at christofflab@psych.ubc.ca and indicate their interest in working in the lab.
