Recruiting Undergraduate Students for Research Experience

Available Research Assistant Positions: Summer 2017 onward

The Comparative Cognition Lab is looking for ambitious undergraduates interested in assisting a graduate student beginning in Summer 2017.

Our lab studies memory systems in rats. As a research assistant you will be providing technical assistance and learning how to train rats in a behavioral procedure where we examine episodic memory using olfactory discrimination tasks. This is an entry-level lab position. No prior research experience is necessary; we will train you to do all of the required procedures and to handle the animals.
