For Prospective Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Researchers

Graduate students in the Brain Game Center and Working Memory and Plasticity Lab are typically involved in multiple (interdisciplinary) research projects involving participants across the lifespan and using a broad range of methodologies. Topics include cognitive training, older adult cognition, creativity, numerical cognition, or learning disabilities (especially ADHD).

Please review our current research projects and publications, and let us know where you see yourself best contributing. To apply, please contact Aaron Seitz (a.seitz@northeastern.edu) or Susanne Jaeggi (s.jaeggi@northeastern.edu) and send your CV and a statement of research interests.

For Undergraduate Students

Many of our ongoing projects are designed to allow undergraduates to get involved and get research experience – see the Research page for information about our current studies. We are currently accepting undergraduate RA applications for Spring 2024. If you are interested in our lab, please submit your application here: BGC and SoundMind Collaboratory RA Application

There are many benefits to being a research assistant in our labs:

  1. Gain a behind-the-scenes look on how research experiments are developed and administered.
  2. Build a theoretical foundation on interdisciplinary approaches to study learning by reading and discussing relevant articles.
  3. Learn a wide range of skills, such as: designing and conducting experiments, administering standardized tests, interacting with participants, creating stimuli, or coding and analyzing data.
  4. Have a chance to create your own directed study and/or apply for PEAK Awards to do an independent project with our labs.
  5. Build an academic-driven network of friends and HAVE FUN at the same time!

To gain the most out of your experience and in order to adequately develop your research skills we require a minimum of ten hours per week commitment with our labs.

If you have any questions about the RA positions, please feel free to contact us at bgc@northeastern.edu
