Undergraduate RAs

The Michigan PNI Lab is currently accepting applications for undergraduate Research Assistants. Applicants may apply at any time. 

We are actively recruiting research assistants who have experience with or a strong interest in the overlap between psychology and medicine. We are especially interested in people who have prior experience with: human subjects data collection, 
phlebotomy, or wet lab work (i.e., have a strong skillset in bench work. This entails having experience in either multiple hands-on labs or prior semesters working in a wet lab).

To work in the Michigan PNI Lab, the Research Assistant must be willing to take psych 326 for 3-4 credits. We do not offer psych 331 to students who are newly joining the lab. The PNI Lab is not accepting volunteers. 

In order to apply, please email the PNI Lab Manager, Jack Chermside, at [email protected] with: a) your CV, b) a cover letter explaining your specific interest in the PNI Lab, and c) at least three references that could be contacted.
