BU undergraduate and master’s students

The lab is excited to welcome student researchers starting in Fall 2025. Current BU students interested in joining the lab are welcome to email us at [email protected]. Be sure to include an unofficial transcript and your CV or résumé.

Prospective PhD students

Dr. Quiroz will be reviewing applications during the next admissions cycle, starting in Fall 2026. Students may apply through the Clinical Psychology or the Brain, Behavior and Cognition programs within the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, or through the Graduate Program in Neuroscience (GPN).

We’re looking for passionate and driven individuals who are excited to contribute to our research! Applicants who are a great fit for the lab often bring:

• A strong drive to explore challenging scientific questions, paired with persistence, creative thinking, and a passion for discovery.
• Hands-on research experience in a psychology or neuroscience lab, especially projects involving neuroimaging and/or working with older adults, both with and without memory difficulties.
• Research interests that align with the lab’s focus on preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, determinants of dementia risk and resilience, and the use of multimodal approaches, including cognitive assessments, mobile/digital tools, genetics, neuroimaging, and biomarkers to investigate brain aging.
• An openness to engaging with multicultural populations. Spanish or Portuguese language skills are a plus, but not a must—what’s most important is a sincere interest in culturally sensitive research.

If this focus aligns with your academic and research goals, we encourage you to get involved as we push the boundaries of neuropsychology, neuroimaging and biomarkers in aging and dementia.

Postdoctoral research associates

We’re not recruiting postdoctoral fellows at the moment, but we encourage interested candidates to check back for future openings.
