POTENTIAL LAB MEMBERS
Northwestern undergraduates and master’s students: If you are a Northwestern student interested in joining the lab, please email learnlab@northwestern.edu and include your resume. Joining the lab involves attending at least 3 lab meetings and volunteering for ~20 hours; after that, students can continue to volunteer or receive course credit or work study. We will begin welcoming more lab members in August 2025. We prioritize students with a strong interest in our areas of research and who are looking for an ongoing position in the lab.
Prospective PhD students: Dr. Norton may admit new PhD students for the fall 2026 admissions cycle. Dr. Norton primarily accepts students through the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders PhD program and can mentor students through the NUIN PhD program as well.
Prospective postdocs: Prospective postdoctoral scholars who have background in closely related areas and who bring or are applying for funding may be considered. Please email Dr. Norton at enorton at northwestern.edu.
High school students and undergraduates from other institutions: We do not have openings at this time, due to the substantial extra steps to onboard non-Northwestern individuals. Please check back in the future.
