Short Description: 

Opportunity to work in the Human Behavioral Pharmacology Laboratory.


General Description: 

Researchers in the de Wit laboratory investigate the behavioral effects of single doses of drugs, especially drugs that are used for nonmedical purposes. The studies are designed to investigate individual differences in responses to drugs, and also to understand the neural and behavioral processes that mediate the drugs' effects. Undergraduate volunteers assist with data management, preliminary analysis, recruiting and screening participants and monitoring physiological measures of drug responses.
