Opportunities to join the lab
Graduate students
I will be accepting new graduate students both through Psychology and Cognitive Science programs. Students with a background in cognitive science, engineering, computer science, mathematics, and linguistics are welcome to apply. Please note that I usually do not accept students with clinical backgrounds.
Undergraduate RA positions
Opportunities for doing research as an undergraduate student are available in the lab. We have a variety of projects that are suitable for such purposes. You do not have to be a Psychology major to qualify. Many of our uRAs are from Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and other departments. Applications are accepted in November-December for the spring semester and in April-May for summer and fall. A minimum commitment of 10h/week is required. Students can get credit for participation in research. Capstone and Honors Thesis projects are also options, but require a more serious commitment.
How to apply
Please click on Learn More and read the document carefully. If you would like to apply, please email the following to Dr. Nozari:
1. A CV. Your CV must list your major, the list of courses you deem relevant to lab's work, any awards or honors received, any history of research, including presentations or published work, a list of technical skills (e.g., R: advanced, Python: intermediate, JavaScript: beginner), and language proficiency (e.g., Mandarin: native, English: fluent, French: low proficiency).
2. A short message stating (a) the reason for your interest in the lab and (b) the course you'd like to sign up for (pick one from the instructions given in Lean More). If you are unsure of which course you should choose, you must talk to the undergraduate advisors.
Dr. Nozari will review your application and get back to you.
Postdoctoral positions
We have funding for postdoc positions, however, we only consider highly motivated and skilled individuals for these positions. The applicant should have a PhD in cognitive science or a related field, technical skills (including JavaScript programming abilities), and a compelling record of research productivity (publications in good cognitive or neuro journals), and have a clear reason for being interested in the work we do in the lab. If you believe that you are a good fit to the lab, you can email Dr. Nozari directly with a copy of your CV and a brief statement about your reasons for being interested in the lab's work.
