The UCLA Social Minds Lab anticipates accepting undergraduate research assistants (RAs) each academic quarter (excepting summers).
For Winter + Spring quarters, the lab's online RA application will open in WEEK 8 + will close at the end of WEEK 9. (Students may also apply to the lab in WEEK 0 of the Fall quarter.) Top applicants will be interviewed in WEEK 10 of the current quarter/WEEK 1 of the next quarter.
If you would like to be involved with the lab next Winter Quarter: complete the below survey and we will reach out to you!
Apply online. Please do not contact Dr. Krems directly.
Our goal is to expose you to the theory, research training, + hands-on practicalities of doing academic research. But in addition to (1) helping prepare the next generation of researchers, we are also (2) keen to work with students who are passionate about science communication. If you're interested in journalism (print/web/film), public relations, social media, graphic design, or related areas---get in touch!
Undergraduates may be able to earn course credit for their involvement in the lab and are able to apply for the PROP (Psychology Research Opportunities Programs) related stipend if eligible.

Join the Lab! (Undergraduates)
Our lab accepts undergraduate students interested in getting hands-on research experience for credit (or on a volunteer basis after a first credit-seeking term in the lab).
Undergraduate research assistants (RAs) learn about social and evolutionary psychology, engage in small-group discussions at a high level, & take part in research--including generating and testing their own research ideas, and presenting their work at major national conferences. Working in the Krems Lab is a great preparation for graduate school (and can help you determine if you would enjoy graduate school).
We welcome any student interested in social psychological research to apply. We encourage students from groups underrepresented in the sciences to apply (e.g., women, sexual or racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation students)!
Your time working the lab will be scheduled around your existing commitments (e.g., courses, work, childcare), and we are open to working with you to create a learning environment that meets your needs.
We do require that all RAs attend lab meetings to get the most out of the lab.
Right now, RA recruitment is paused as the lab transitions to UCLA.
