Working in the Lab

Thank you for your interest in the lab.

Undergraduate students

Undergraduates typically work in an unpaid research assistant capacity, often participating in the lab in exchange for research (PSC199) credit. We are primarily interested in freshman and sophomore students who are interested in making a long-term commitment to the lab. This makes for a more rewarding experience and increases the likelihood that you'll get to do interesting work on a project. Only under rare circumstances will we accept seniors into the lab. Because much of what we do in the lab is quite technical, we are particularly interested in students with computer programming skills.

Graduate students

Please contact Petr Janata for more information. Be advised that the acceptance rate into the lab is ~2%.
