We are currently recruiting undergraduate students to begin this Summer (May 2025), with the opportunity to remain in the lab in the 2025/2026 academic school year.
Each semester, students work in the MiND lab as research assistants for credit or as volunteers. Currently, our undergraduates are mainly working with our MTwiNS project and the SAND study. The main roles of undergraduates are to attend regular weekly meetings and participate in other regular lab tasks, such as data entry and neuroimaging quality checking. Additionally, students will participate in running our full-day lab visits alongside a staff member once a month for the SAND study.
We are particularly interested in students with experience and interest in neuroimaging. We also look for the following characteristics:
-
- 9-12 hours of weekly availability
- Summer 2025 Availability
- Weekend availability
- Preferences:
- Underclassmen (due to training process)
- Skill and experience working with adolescents and families
- Psychology or related major
- 3.6 GPA or higher
- PSYCH 250 (Introduction to Developmental Psychology) and PSYCH 270 (Introduction to Psychopathology)
If you have any questions, email mindlaboratory@umich.edu.
If you are a non-UM student interested in working with us over the summer, check out the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP). This is open to Juniors and Seniors.
For incoming freshmen and sophomores with no/little research experience or transfer students, we also recommend checking out the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). We usually take a couple of UROP students at the beginning of the year: https://lsa.umich.edu/urop/prospective-students/fall-winter-programs/traditional-urop.html
