Project Description
Research in the Vonder Haar lab involves regular behavioral testing with rats. Undergraduates typically start out helping with rat operant behaviors and then move into other areas of the lab as they get established. Details of our research program can be found on the lab website: injuryrecoverylab.com. This is for volunteer or course credit only. Paid work is occasionally available in the summer, especially if students are able to apply for fellowships.
Required Applicant Information
An introductory email explaining why you are interested in the position; the lab will provide an application form.

Students must also be available Mondays at 3:30-5p for lab meetings. If you do not have these times available currently, but will in the Spring and future semesters, you may still apply.
