Undergraduate Volunteers
Applications for undergraduate research assistants in the lab are currently closed for Summer and Fall of 2024. However, we encourage interested undergraduates to consider applying for the Spring 2025 semester.
UGRAs get experience with infant data collection, participant recruitment, behavior coding, and data processing. Our lab strives to create an inclusive and supportive hands-on learning environment. UGRAs are expected to commit to between 6-10 hours a week and can elect to work for psychology course credit or on a volunteer basis.
If you are an NYU Undergraduate student & interested in joining our group, please fill out our Undergrad Application Form. If any questions arise, please email CC Groves (Caroline.Groves@nyulangone.org).
Postbac Positions
Research Assistant, NYU Langone, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
One position is open for a full-time research assistant to work with Dr. Courtney Filippi. Dr. Filippi’s research examines the neurobiology of anxiety by studying the developing brain from infancy through early childhood. To do so, our lab uses both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), as well as various behavioral assessments. Ongoing projects focus on how factors that are intrinsic to the individual (e.g., temperament) and early experiences (e.g., parent-child interactions) shape risk for anxiety. Much of our work focuses on the development of neural systems associated with infant attention and behavioral control.
This position is ideal for a postbac interested in getting hands-on training in infancy research methods and/or learning about the use of neuroscientific methods with infants and toddlers. Research assistants will be involved in newborn recruitment and retention, scheduling visits, collecting behavioral, functional MRI, and EEG data, supervision of undergraduates, and will receive training in EEG and MRI data quality control.
Flexible schedule on nights and weekends is required. Required education: Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Human Development, Cognitive or Affective Neuroscience, or related field. The position requires excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and strong interpersonal skills. Prior experience working with children in a research context is preferred. The position is available beginning Spring/Summer 2025 and requires a two-year commitment.
Interested individuals should fill out this form and upload their CV.
Questions should be directed to Lily Su, Lillian.Su@NYULangone.org .
