Thank you for your interest in joining the lab!


The research done in the BERL couldn't be done without our team of student researchers (or "science muffins" as we like to call them). Each year we welcome new students into the lab, where they are able to engage in research activities and social activities with their fellow lab mates. We welcome anyone with an interest in social neuroscience! Please read the relevant information below to find out how to join the BERL.

Prospective Research Assistants

Research assistants (RAs) are very important to the success of our lab and may contribute to many different aspects of the research process. In the BERL, RAs can  contribute by assisting with study design, data collection, data analysis, literature searches, and assistance with conference presentations. 


Our lab accommodates RA’s schedules with all levels of time commitments, but all RAs are required to attend our weekly lab meeting. It is possible to receive PSYC 495 units for being an RA. 


If you are interested in joining the BERL as an RA, please fill out our lab application.

Prospective Graduate Students

Dr Hahn supervises Master's and blended students admitted to the Academic Research graduate program in Psychology under both the neuroscience and social psychology specialization areas.  Although specific research interests may vary, incoming students typically have an interest in responses to facial cues, affective neuroscience, and/or hormonal factors influencing social behavior.
