Undergraduate Students

The Diehl Lab is often looking for talented undergraduates to be involved in research projects. If you are interested, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/jGRekue4o7bHYc9U8 and send Dr. Diehl via email your CV/resume, a copy of your unofficial transcripts, and class schedule and we can discuss available options. A minimum GPA of 3.50 is preferred, but students with a strong interest will be considered. There are no class requirements, but it is strongly preferred that students have taken (or plan to take) Biology 198 (Intro to Biology), PSYCH 350 (Research Methods), and Psych 475 (Principles of Learning) or Psych 470 (Introduction to Neuroscience - formerly Psychobiology) .  Dr. Diehl requires students to commit to at least 2 semesters and at least 6 hours per week in the lab during the semester and 10 hours per week in the lab during the summer, given the training and duration of experiments that are needed to conduct research in the lab.
