Cognitive Neuroscience Lab Professor Diego Fernandez-Duque, Psychology Dept., Villanova University Application for Undergraduate Research Assistantships There are openings in my lab for serious and motivated undergraduates who are interested in the area of Cognitive Science. If you are interested, please copy the application form below, fill it out and e-mail it to me (diego.fernandezduque@villanova.edu) Duties of research assistants Commit approximately 8-12 hours per week on a flexible basis to work in the lab. Most of the work will involve developing stimuli, collecting data, and analyzing the data on studies involving college students. This work will address questions of interest to us (see lab website for details), and will also serve as pilot work for our patient studies. Each RA is assigned to one project, usually based on their expressed preference after hearing about current projects. RAs typically work in concert with Prof. FernandezDuque and one of the graduate students in the laboratory. RAs are trained on how to use the equipment, recruit participants, run the experiments, and analyze the data. They are expected to read the current literature related to their projects and to participate in weekly lab meetings. Students who have completed some course work in relevant areas will be given preference (e.g., cognitive psychology, biological psychology, neuroscience, computer science, philosophy of mind). Familiarity with computers is a plus. Given the amount of training involved, we prefer students who anticipate being able to work in the lab for at least two semesters. If interested, please send the following information to Prof. Diego FernandezDuque (diego.fernandezduque@villanova.edu). - - Name: Phone and email contact: Major: Expected semester of graduation: GPA (overall): GPA (major): List the grades for the following courses: o Research Methods: o Statistics: o Cognition or Cognitive Science Courses: o Biology/Neuroscience Courses: o Other Science/Math/Computer Science Courses: List your Technical skills (computers, electronics, statistics, etc.): Briefly describe your Career Goals and research interest: Important! include a term paper you had written, preferably for a psychology course
