Graduate Students
Please keep in mind that the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is a highly competitive university and that you must be accepted to the graduate program PRIOR to joining our lab.
- Required:
- Acceptance to MS, MS/Ph.D., or Ph.D. programs in the Grainger College of Engineering or Neuroscience
- Excellent communication and technical writing skills
- Applicants from historically underrepresented groups in STEM (women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, US ethnic/racial minorities as defined by the NIH) and US citizens/permanent residents are encouraged to apply.
Undergraduate Students
HDCL provides rich opportunities for undergraduates who are passionate about exploring the scientific frontier. Under the guidance of graduate students, students have the chance to actively participate in ongoing projects, contributing to real-world applications and honing their skills in a collaborative environment.
Please do NOT directly email Professor Hsiao-Wecksler for undergraduate research opportunities. Instead, please apply here to become a part of our dynamic research, and an HDCL graduate student may be in touch with you shortly if your background fits their project.
Undergraduates interested in helping out in the HDCL should also satisfy the following 3 criteria:
- A minimum GPA of 3.4
- Available to volunteer for 10-12 hrs/week
- Available for at least two semesters (or one semester and summer)
