Most undergraduates begin by volunteering for a term, beginning in their second or third year.
From that experience, some undergraduates will graduate to paid positions or to pursuing an independent or thesis project. I do usually give priority to students who have already worked in the lab. If you are thinking about possibly going to graduate school in psychology, pursuing a research career in speech-language pathology, medicine, or teaching, it is never too early to build up your research experience. The more research experience you can gain while you are undergraduate, the stronger your graduate applications will be a the clearer your view will be as to what kind of research you are really interested in. Even if I have no positions currently available, I will keep your name on file for when positions open up.
