We are always interested to recruit well-qualified undergraduates to our research team. Our preference is to recruit students who have a background and\/or strong interest in clinical neuropsychology or cognitive\/affective neuroscience, including students who have taken or intend to take coursework in these areas.<\/p>\n There are three different ways that undergraduates can be admitted to our lab:<\/p>\n If you are an undergraduate interested in joining our team under any of the categories described,\u00a0email your CV and a cover letter describing your interest to: smartlab@uvic.ca<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Thomas Ross, B.Sc., 2012<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cEffortless Attention: Subjective and Objective Indicators of Attentional Effort in Somatic Meditation Practitioners\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n I am full-time faculty within our CPA-approved Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program and I teach and supervise students within the clinical neuropsychology stream of our program. Students interested in working under my research supervision are expected to have some overlapping research interests and fit with our lab. Students should note that I have moved away from my prior interest in aging. For now, the main interests of our lab are focused on understanding the\u00a0neuropsychology of trauma and resilience,<\/strong>\u00a0the role of self-regulation in trauma and resilience, and the impact of interventions such as mindfulness, yoga, and other embodied interventions to enhance<\/strong> self-regulation for persons with trauma<\/strong>. Please click here for more specific information for potential applicants for the Fall 2023 admissions cycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n While students are expected to have overlapping research interests with me and the lab, they are admitted to the Clinical Program as a whole, and as such must meet all the basic requirements for admission as specified in our course handbook.
