The Neurocognitive Development Lab offers opportunities to learn about and gain hands-on research experience in neurocognitive development.

Graduate students:

We currently have openings for graduate students through two programs at the University of Maryland. (Please note: application requirements and deadlines differ between programs - so please check the information carefully.)

1. Department of Psychology Graduate Program

Either through the Developmental or Cognitive and Neural Systems Specialty Areas

2. Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program for Graduate Studies

 

 

Undergraduate students:

There are several ways in which undergraduates can be a part of our research laboratory.  Students can register for course credit via Psyc 479 (Research in Psychology) or join us as volunteers.  

Students in Psyc 479 will gain an introduction to laboratory techniques and research methodology, and will assist in running research projects.  In addition to the research component, students will engage in a critical reading and discussion of relevant topics and will submit a paper at the end of the semester.  Students are required to sign a contract at the beginning of the semester, and must submit this to the advising office. More information on Psyc 479 can be obtained from the advising office. 

In general, all students in the lab participate in hands-on research activities, attend weekly lab meetings, read journal articles, and participate in discussions.  We ask for a commitment of 2 semesters.

If you are interested in joining our lab either as a student in Psyc 479 or as a volunteer, please contact us at MarylandNCDL@gmail.com.
