As an active and leading research establishment, the Institute of Cognition and Culture at Queen’s University is always seeking volunteers to participate in a range of experiments.  This page has been designed to advertise these opportunities and facilitate the recruitment of reliable and motivated volunteers.  The ICC offers prize raffles, gift certificates, or monetary compensation for research participants.

If you would like to be added to the volunteer database, please e-mail your contact information to the Lab Administrator.

You can opt to receive e-mail updates on compensated participation opportunities when they become available. Our volunteer list is secured by the Institute of Cognition and Culture and is only accessible to authorized individuals.  Joining the volunteer list does not obligate you to anything.
