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. Additionally, we also extend an invitation to those interested in becoming participants in our various studies (see ‘Participate in our research study‘).

PURE and RADWear projects are not currently accepting undergraduate students for the Spring Semester 2024. However, if you are interested in participating in future semesters, we encourage you to leave your information through the application link provided below. We appreciate your interest and look forward to the possibility of working with you in the future!

Please do NOT directly email Professor Hsiao-Wecksler for undergraduate research opportunities. Instead, please apply here to become a part of our dynamic research team for Spring 2024 and Fall 2024, and an HDCL graduate student will be in touch with you shortly.

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)
