Contact Information

Please feel free to contact Dr. Kim Wong at kww3@williams.edu if you are interested in joining, or of course if you have any questions about the research or the lab.

At this time, there is no formal application form, so just send an email with a brief introduction about why you're interested.

On Research Assistants

We are currently seeking research assistants! In the lab, you will gain hands-on research experience, such as how to design behavioral experiments, code using JavaScript & Python, collect data (from adult human participants), conduct statistical analysis, and write for psychology journals/conferences.

Students interested in joining the lab should plan to commit a minimum of an entire academic year, and will be expected to work either 6, 7, or 8 hours a week (based on the student's goals and time constraints, in discussions with Dr. Wong before officially joining the lab). Students who join the lab will be financially compensated according to Williams' student pay structure. Any student who applies to join should expect to have a conversation with Dr. Wong about their interests, and to discuss whether the lab is a good fit for them.

Dr. Wong is committed to developing skillsets that enable students to eventually lead their own research projects over the course of several years of training. Our lab aims to foster an inclusive, supportive, and equitable research environment that welcomes students from all backgrounds. Diverse perspectives strengthen research and create a richer learning environment for all. Students with disabilities are encouraged to reach out about accommodations, as Dr. Wong is dedicated to ensuring that all lab members can participate fully.

On Honors Thesis Students

Students interested in completing an honors thesis advised by Dr. Wong should reach out a minimum of one semester in advance, so that we can determine advising fit and have ample time to discuss the potential thesis itself. Honors thesis students should expect consistent communication with Dr. Wong, meeting a minimum of once every two weeks to discuss progress on the thesis project.
