Prospective students
Postdoctoral researchers interested in joining the lab should email Katie to express interest and apply to the MindCORE postdoctoral research fellowship or the Provost's Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Graduate students should email Katie to express interest and apply to the Linguistics program at the University of Pennsylvania. Applications are due around December 1st.
Undergraduates should email Katie to express interest. Undergrads can work in the lab for pay or credit (independent study or honors thesis). For equity reasons, we do not accept volunteers, as these positions are only available to students who can afford to work without pay.
