The Motor Control Lab provides an opportunity to learn multiple experimental techniques as well as computational modeling approaches to understanding how the brain controls motor behaviour in humans.
Our lab members are highly motivated, have a strong record of academic excellence, and intend to pursue a career in scientific research.
If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact Dr. Gribble by email
and send five things: (1) your cv, (2) transcript, (3) a recent sample of your writing, and (4) a statement of interest. Also include (5) a recent piece of work that you have completed that you are particularly proud of.
Send your application to: paul [at] gribblelab [dot] org
Currently we have openings for:
- postdoctoral fellows
- graduate students (starting 2010-11)
- undergraduate students (2010-11)
Undergraduate Students
Each year a small number of undergraduate students in Psychology and/or Physiology & Pharmacology are welcomed into the lab to do honours thesis projects. Several recent students who completed honours theses in the lab have gone on to pursue graduate and professional degrees.
Graduate Students
Potential graduate students with a background in Neuroscience, Psychology, Physiology, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics or related fields are encouraged to inquire about joining the lab. Graduate students are typically enrolled in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience although they can alternatively be supervised through the Department of Psychology, or the Department of Physiology & Pharmacology. While application deadlines for graduate studies are typically in the winter/spring, note that application deadlines for scholarships (e.g. NSERC, CIHR) are typically in the fall.
Admission requirements for the UWO Graduate Program in Neuroscience
Postdoctoral Fellows
Potential postdoctoral fellows are invited to inquire about joining the lab at any time.
Research Subjects
A number of research studies are currently underway in the lab. If you would like to participate in one of our experiments as a research subject please contact Dr. Gribble by email.
