Volunteer
We seek motivated students interested in psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, or related areas, but welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Volunteers run experiments with children at preschools, museums, and in the lab; enter and code data using various computer software; recruit families via phone, email, and at external sites; design stimuli for new studies; and participate in weekly lab meetings. Students have the opportunity to acquire new skills and learn about cognitive development while working under the mentorship of a graduate student, postdoc, or lab coordinator.
Academic quarter volunteers commit to 10 hours per week. We ask for a minimum 2-quarter commitment, with the possibility of completing a Psych 199 (with a 12 hours/week commitment) in the second quarter.
Summer volunteers commit to 12 hours per week. Please submit your application online at the link below.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis.
Please email ladlabcoordinator@ucsd.edu with any questions.
