*We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, ethnicity, age, marital status, child status, or sexual orientation.

Currently, the laboratory does not have funds to support a postdoctoral researcher. However, we are seeking those funds and open to collaborate on postdoctoral applications. Please contact Dr. Prause with your interests.

Prospective Ph.D. students can find information for applying to the APA-accredited Idaho State University clinical psychology program here. If you intend to list Dr. Prause as a desired mentor in your application, please contact her before applying to ensure an appropriate fit between your interests. To function well in the laboratory, you will need basic computer skills and interest/skills in scripting. Grant-supported research funding is available for qualified applicants for Fall 2009.

SPAN lab is searching for exceptional undergraduates to work as research assistants in Spring 2009 and Summer 2009. You can receive course credit for your participation in the laboratory, gain hands-on experience with psychophysiology equipment and analyses, and receive professional support for future graduate study and career endeavors. You will participate in laboratory meetings, work with the principal investigator and doctoral student(s), and be asked to contribute your own ideas. We especially would like to identify undergraduates with nontraditional backgrounds in statistics, engineering, or computer science to enhance collaboration across disciplines. Please explore this website to learn more about the projects on which we are working, and feel free to contact Nicole Prause with questions.

Students typically enroll for three credits in PYSC483, which requires that you spend 10 hours per week on laboratory work (in addition to 1 hour for lab meeting and 1 hour reading the article assigned that week).Laboratory hours are scheduled to accommodate your schedule. The weekly laboratory meeting time is set once all of the students have been selected. Please see the psychology catalogue for information about how 483 could fit into your schedule.

You must at least have an especially professional demeanor and basic computer skills to function well in this laboratory.
