We welcome highly motivated undergraduate students interested in autism-related research to assist in our lab. Undergraduate students will have the opportunity to work directly on many different elements of our research projects, gaining mentorship, experience, and the potential to pursue independent research. Work-study placement, independent study credits, and volunteer positions are available.

Please note that we are only able to accommodate volunteers who are available to work in person in our Evanston lab. At this time, we are unable to accept high school volunteers or volunteers seeking fully remote positions.

We are not currently accepting undergraduate volunteers for Fall 2026. However, we may have opportunities available in Winter 2026 and encourage interested students to check back with us later this fall!
