Other responsibilities will include collecting and reading scientific papers relevant to the research.

Prerequisites (if any)

​Completion of PSC 41 (Research Methods) and PSC 132 (language and Cognition) OR PSC 100 (Cognition) PREFERRED.

Comments

  • 2 or 3 unit commitment (6-9 hours per week), for at least two quarters. We prefer to have research assistants stay with the lab for longer periods of time, as the longer you are with us, the more you will learn.
  • Sophomores and Juniors are preferred, but Seniors are welcome to apply.
  • There is an application and interview process for the limited number of RA positions we have available. Please visit our website for an application and more information: swaab.faculty.ucdavis.edu
