Research Assistant Application                    
Professor David Sherman's lab

Thank you for your interest in joining the lab! Please fill out the form below to apply.

All questions should be directed to the graduate student you are applying to work with.

Students who are invited to be RAs can sign up for PSY 99/99P or PSY 199/199P. The first quarter should be pass/fail (P) and after that, research units can be taken for grade (includes writing a paper). Here is the distinction:  PSY 99/99P is for any students who are undeclared, still in the pre-major, and/or are freshmen and sophomores. For a student to be eligible for PSY 199P or 199, the student must be in full major and junior (or higher) level standing.

When entering your answers, please enter everything on one line (do not hit return). Thank you.
