| Why would you
want to
work
in
our lab? Here are several reasons: 1) You will work closely
with
me (Dr. Leynes) and the lab members. I will get to know you better and
observe
your abilities
outside of the classroom. Therefore, I can write more complete
reference
letters for your future grad school, professional school, or job
applications.
2) You will learn some basic
research skills. This knowledge will be very valuable if you plan to
attend graduate school. Working in teams and having responsibility is
also valuable training for the general workforce.
3)
You
will learn about
cognitive neuroscience, and you may decide that you want to pursue
it for a career.
4)
You
get course credit!
5) Lab students have been accepted to many graduate programs (more details), received graduate fellowships, been accepted into honor societies, completed honors thesis and senior projects, and won many scholarships (more info). Work in the lab enhances an application for these awards and honors. Do you need more information? What qualifications do students need to get this experience? Basic qualifications that are required to be considered for the lab: 1) must be a TCNJ student 2) must sucessfully complete the application process (described below) No other special qualifications are required. How do you apply? (the process of joining the lab) 1) In order to be considered
for a seat in the course, you should submit a completed application.
Download
an application
(word doc), complete it, save it using your last name in the filename
(e.g., Smith ERP lab application.doc) and email your application to me
(leynes@tcnj.edu) as an attachment. I use the information in this
document to determine whether the ERP lab can provide the experience
that you are seeking - so provide detail, but be concise.
2) Applications are accepted at any time during the semester. However, open seats in the course are allocated as students sucessfully complete the application process. So, an early application ensures full consideration. About a week or two before registration opens, I will review all applications and begin to select students for interviews with me (Dr. Leynes). 3) After the interview with me, students will be interviewed by the current lab managers. 4) After the interview process, I will offer seats to students who are a good fit with the the ERP lab experience. When students accept these offers, I will register him or her for the course. This process continues until all open seats for the next semester have been filled. |
