Prospective Students
The Stuttering Lab welcomes curious, open-minded, self-motivated students of all levels who are eager to learn about the scientific process and social-emotional aspects of stuttering. To facilitate a productive experience for all, undergraduate and master’s students who join the lab are expected to dedicate at least 5 hours per week in the lab for at least two consecutive semesters — either volunteering, registering for 2 s.h. of research credits per semester, or registering for thesis credits. Student responsibilities vary depending on the projects, lab needs, and students’ interests and could include:
conducting literature reviews
developing research questions
preparing research tasks for participants
collecting data from participants
organizing, transcribing, and/or coding data
disseminating research finding through conference posters and research articles
developing science communication materials
In addition to these tasks, students are expected to participate in weekly lab meetings which often include team building, planning, problem-solving, peer mentoring, and student-led journal/podcast discussions.
If you are an undergraduate or master's student and would like to connect about the possibility of joining the lab as a research assistant, please fill out the interest form below. If you are a prospective PhD student, please reach out to Naomi directly via email (naomi-rodgers@uiowa.edu).
