Getting Involved as a LSU Student
Volunteer Opportunities
Research experiences in the HABIT Lab provide valuable professional development for undergraduate students. Students gain hands-on experience with participant recruitment, data collection, data management, and lab operations. Those who demonstrate strong commitment and make meaningful intellectual contributions may have opportunities to present at conferences or co-author publications.
Most students work in the lab for 1–2 semesters, though some stay longer. Space is limited each semester. All students are welcome to apply, with preference given to those with a GPA above 3.0, strong communication skills, and an interest in graduate study.
Interested students can apply by completing this form and uploading a resume and unofficial transcript. Accepted students will be required to complete IRB human subjects training.
For additional information or questions regarding volunteer opportunities within the HABIT Lab, please contact Dr. Shiyu Li shiyu.li{at}lsu.edu.
Application for Undergraduate Research
Honors Option, Independent Study
I am happy to support Honors Option students in my KIN courses or independent study for credit hours. Honors Option and independent study projects in the HABIT Lab typically involve:
- Completing assigned research activities OR
- Writing a research paper based on your work
These projects offer a great opportunity to gain research experience, explore academic interests, and build skills for future careers or graduate study. If you are interested, please feel free to email me directly at shiyu.li{at}lsu.edu
