Penn State Brain Development Lab • Student Info

Overview

The Brain Development Lab, part of the Psychology Department at Penn State, is looking for undergraduate research assistants to study brain development in infants, children, and adolescents. You can earn research project (PSY 494) credit or work study funds, and learn video, computer, and communication skills. Prior research experience and computer skills are a plus, but aren't required. We are especially interested in students who have morning availability, computer skills, or are interested in developing skills in advertising, marketing, or public relations.
