Undergraduate students interested in Research Assistant positions: please fill out this Google Form. We check submissions periodically and usually recruit most at the beginning and end of every semester.
You might be a good fit for the Jonides lab if you…
- are interested in conflict, attention, distraction, or how our brains process stimuli
- are interested in working with psychophysics or biological outcome measures like reaction speed/accuracy, eye movements, EMG muscle responses, or heart rate
- are interested in differences in cognition between populations (particularly those with and without ADHD, or younger vs older individuals)
- want to know more about anything else described on our website
- want to work with human participants by running studies
- have experience with programming, statistics, or computational modeling (this is not a requirement, but it is a major plus!)
Note that our lab is not currently doing any fMRI studies. We do have some upcoming EEG studies that will begin in Winter or Summer 2026. We may have RA positions available on this EEG project, and encourage students to submit an application to express their interest.
