Get involved with the Hartley Lab!
The Hartley Lab relies on research assistants to help us conduct our studies on the development of learning and decision-making. Typically, research assistants work on a specific project led by a Ph.D. student or postdoctoral researcher. For a sense of the types of questions we work on, please read through our research page. You may also want to skim some of our publications.
Responsibilities may include recruiting and testing study participants (children, adolescents, and adults), helping prepare experimental stimuli or scripts, and helping to analyze and interpret the data that is collected. We expect research assistants to engage intellectually with all stages of the research process and to work hard to gain valuable skills (working with human participants, coding, computational modeling, analyzing behavioral and neuroimaging data, reading and thinking about scientific literature, etc.). We do not expect research assistants to have prior lab experience.
Training new volunteers takes time, so we usually require research assistants to commit to working 10 hours per week for at least two semesters. Though we cannot offer payment to all research assistants, we are happy to work with you to identify potential sources of funding that may help support your involvement in the lab. NYU undergraduates can also work in our lab for academic credit. You can learn more about these opportunities here.
After you fill out the form, please send an email to us at [email protected] with your resume/CV and your unofficial transcript. Please also let us know if you have any questions! The number of open research assistant positions varies each semester.
Unfortunately we do not have active openings for this role, please check back in the Spring!
