Because of the high volume of requests, I have a standing policy to not have extensive interactions with potential applicants outside of the official application/interview process. Please don’t let this discourage you from applying – it is simply not possible for me to interact with everyone, so in the interest of fairness, I have implemented this policy. I encourage you to closely review our program website, the different sections of my lab website, and my CV, all of which contain useful information for potential applicants.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities
We frequently have openings for new undergraduate research assistants in the lab. If you are interested in joining our group, email Dr. Hirsh to determine if we are currently recruiting for new research assistants. Undergraduates are active and valued members of our team; they are often involved in running experiments, recruiting participants, and managing data. Undergraduates attend and participate in weekly lab meetings and are encouraged to explore their own research interests in the area of pain. Many have presented posters at local and national conferences, and have been co-authors on publications.
Lab requirements:
-
Attend lab meetings (held weekly)
-
A minimum commitment of 5 hours per week
-
Work on all on-going projects, as needed
