Graduate Students
UPDATE: Due to an unexpected change in circumstances, Dr. Racine will no longer be recruiting a graduate student to begin in 2026-2027. She apologizes for the last minute change.
Competitive applicants are those with independent research experience, specific ideas regarding the type of research they hope to pursue in graduate school, and an interest in a future career that incorporates research.
Dr. Racine is unable to respond to all of the inquiries from prospective students or to meet with students prior to the application deadline. Please peruse this website and Dr. Racine's CV to learn about the work that she and her graduate students are currently doing.
Undergraduate Research Students
We are currently recruiting project students for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Dr. Racine supervises undergraduate honours theses (i.e., PSYC 380; PSYC 488) as well as undergraduate research projects (i.e., PSYC 450). The BEEP Lab ONLY supervises full year projects. Students will be paired with a graduate student and will develop a project that builds off of current data collections or uses existing lab data. Please note that most undergraduate research students have served as previous volunteers in the BEEP Lab.
If you are interested in applying for a research project, please send an email with a completed Research Assistant Application (found below), a brief statement of interest, an updated CV, and an unofficial transcript to beeplab@mcgill.ca. Please do not email Dr. Racine directly.
