Cognitive and Emotional Control Lab

Undergraduates

The Cognitive and Emotional Control Lab (“Kerns Lab”) is seeking ambitious undergraduates to assist with data collection, scoring, and various other research tasks! We encourage students to apply if they have a strong interest in psychotic disorders, clinical cognitive neuroscience, and/or behavioral task development. We do not require that applicants be psychology majors or be pursuing graduate school, but these qualities may be preferred for applicants seeking further mentorship by our graduate students.
