Undergraduate Students
- There are a number of ways that undergraduate students can get involved in research activities within the CDL. Students looking to join our research team can send an email (with their CV) to inquire about available roles within the lab to enilsen@uwaterloo.ca.
- Paid research assistants: depending on the current studies being run, there may be a limited number of paid positions.
- Volunteer research assistants: volunteer RAs support the research activities of (graduate) researchers.
- Coop students: where a project (or series of projects), requires a more full-time researcher, a position may be posted within WaterlooWorks.
- Honours students: Honours students who are completing their thesis within the CDL would be signed up for Honours Thesis (Psych 499)
- Research apprenticeship students: UW has a number of apprenticeship courses (Psych 264, 464) available wherein students work in a lab for one academic term.
