Information for Prospective Students

Undergraduate Research Assistants

If you are interested in working on research topics related to learning, memory, and/or aging, you can apply to be an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Bailey’s lab! As a research assistant, you would learn about all aspects of experimental design and data collection. This includes devising and refining research questions, programming experiments, collecting data with young and/or older adults, learning statistics to analyze data, and presenting your work in the department, across campus, and at regional conferences. Getting involved in each step of the research process provides great experience when applying for graduate school and it also gives you insight into the life of a graduate student. We prefer students who have at least a 3.0 GPA, are available at least 6 hours a week and have completed Psych 350 (research methods). If you are interested in working in the lab, send an email to Trase, our lab manager (trase@ksu.edu).
