Joining the Research Team

Any student who is interested in contributing to our research that address Center for Language and Brain questions are welcome to contact Spencer Kelly or Yukari Hirata to become a member.

Normally, students first shadow ongoing research on a voluntary basis, then start taking greater responsibility over a couple of semesters. The research is not tied to specific classes, and students work 5-15 hours per week.

While we work as a team, students may voice their own ideas and develop them as their individual projects. Students may pursue research with the Center for Language and Brain as their senior, honors, or high honors theses.
