Undergraduate Students Interested in Research Experience
The MoCCA Lab provides students with experience in the lab, as well as an insight into various research methods. Students with good academic standing, who are motived, and who have an interest in pursuing cognitive neuroscience research are encouraged to apply. In particular, we encourage applications from students who have experienced barriers due to: racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and disability status. As a lab, we are always engaged in a variety of interesting research projects, which require dedication from motivated undergraduate students. Students should be able to work well independently and in team settings.
Interested students should fill out the MoCCA RA Application, and email dlzabeli@uark.edu for further details.
Postdocs
Potential postdocs, please contact Dr. Zabelina at dlzabeli@uark.edu to indicate your interest.
Graduate Students
Graduate student applications are reviewed after the formal admission deadline (Dec. 1).
Experience in EEG/ERP research will greatly benefit the success of your application, so if you have the option, get involved with the lab that does EEG research.
Programming skills (e.g., Matlab, R, Python) are a big plus.
We encourage applications from individuals who have experienced barriers due to: racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and disability status.
The Experimental Training Committee (ETC) is aware that some graduate students are having difficulties taking the Graduate Record Examinations (GREs) due to the pandemic. We also recognize the fact that GREs may put some individuals, particularly from underrepresented groups, at an unfair disadvantage when it comes to educational opportunities. At this time, the University of Arkansas Fellowship Committee requires GREs for fellowship decisions; therefore, we also request GREs for graduate admissions so that all incoming students have a fair chance at receiving a fellowship. We continue to work hard to increase our holistic approach to evaluating student applicants.
