Lab

I'll be starting a lab in the department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, Irvine in January 2019!
 
We're hiring! If you're interested in working in the lab - as a research assistant, lab manager, graduate researcher, or postdoc - please send me a brief (~2 paragraph) message describing your research interests. Include a CV and email addresses of up to three references. Postdoc candidates should include two or three relevant manuscripts (preprints are ok).
 
Looking to do a PhD? Send the above, and then apply via the Cognitive Science graduate program - deadline December 1st.
