Join the Lab!

1. You can volunteer in any of our research projects. No formal application is required, just send an email to Dr. Hopkins at hopkins@byu.edu, and he will add you to the lab email list.
   
2. You can enroll in the mentored learning experience class (PWS 494R). In this course, you get university credit for your activities in the lab. You will work with Dr. Hopkins and other lab members to develop a project or contribute to an existing project. This course is variable credit, so you can sign up for 0.5 to 6 credit hours. During fall and winter semesters, plan on spending 3 hours per week for each credit hour. During spring and summer terms, plan on spending 6 hours per week for each credit hour. Email Dr. Hopkins so he can send you the add codes.
   
3. You can work for pay. If there is an opening on the team, you can get hired as a student employee in the lab. Typically, this occurs for students who have done mentored research in the past, but sometimes there are other positions available. Email Dr. Hopkins if you are interested.

We are often accepting graduate student applications, although most of these positions go to undergraduate students who have worked in the lab. Before going through any official process, send your CV and letter of intent to Dr. Hopkins. You can find all the application process details on the BYU Graduate Studies website.
