Evie MalaiaDescription
Students interested in brain-to-brain coordination during coversation (as well as development of it in children and clinical populations) are invited to train in my lab (https://malaia.people.ua.edu/opportunities.html) as volunteers. Class credit available in CD 350 or CD 360 Honors; training in Good Laboratory Practices and experiment administration provided. Since the training is fairly involved, 1-year commitment (Fall-Spring, or Spring-Fall) is required. You'd be working in a small group (3-4 student researchers), and comfortable coordinating/scheduling flexibly. The hours (3-5/week) are calculated based on 2-3 experimental recordings a week, which, depending on participant availability, might take place evenings or weekends. Any majors interested in working with people (developing bedside manner/clinical persona) and sensitive equipment (CD, psychology, nursing, biomedical engineering, biology, etc.) are welcome to reach out. Recommendation letters based on this experience (graduate school/medical school) can speak to both interpresonal and technical/research skills.
