Prospective Students
The Stuttering Lab welcomes curious, open-minded, self-motivated students who are eager to learn about the scientific process and social-emotional aspects of stuttering. When there is availability, students can join as research assistants or thesis mentees.
To facilitate a productive experience for all, undergraduate and master’s students who join the lab are required to dedicate at least 5 hours per week in the lab (either volunteering or earning 2 s.h. of research credits per semester), for at least two consecutive semesters. 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 may include brainstorming, problem-solving, peer-mentoring, and student-led journal/podcast discussions.
