Applying to work in Dr. Sandstrom's Lab

There is certain information that Dr. Sandstrom needs to know
about you as you get involved in his laboratory.

There are several ways to go about getting involved in research
with Dr. Sandstrom:

1) Volunteer - This is a good idea for anyone with general interest and time prior to committing to a project.  It can provide a good level of background and develop research skills.  The more time you can spend, the more you'll get out of the experience.

2) PSY385 - Research Methods.  This will take care of the capstone experience for Psychology majors with work in Dr. Sandstrom's neuroscience lab where your final project will involve neuroscience research with animals.

3) PSY496 - Directed Research. This is a well-rounded research experience for either graduate-preparation Psychology majors and also a requirement for Neuroscience majors currently.  It requires writing a research proposal as well as completing a research project, both of which enhance critical skills for a budding scientist.

To initiate any of these research experiences, feel free to...

A) Stop by and talk with him at his office.  Follow the pictures in the Multimedia section of this website.  It's best if you warn him first that you'll be stopping by in an Email unless you are clear on when he holds office hours.  Dr. Sandstrom would like to know your name, your current year & semester of matriculation, and some contact information so that communication can happen.

B) Send him an Email indicating your interest.
