JOINING AS A GRADUATE STUDENT
The lab IS accepting new students to start in Fall 2024.

Interested students can apply to McGill's Psychology program [Link].

The lab examines the causes and consequences of prejudice, and additionally how impressions formed of others across group boundaries (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, politics, etc) can sometimes contribute. The lab is quite multimethod, implementing a wide variety of techniques and statistical approaches including intergroup interactions, geo-spatial and large-scale data analysis, mousetracking, and digital face and body modeling.

Competitive candidates will be highly motivated, excited by research, and possess excellent time-management skills. Applicants will likely have a background in psychology, sociology, neuroscience, or cognitive science. Any experience with data management and statistical modeling (e.g., R, SPSS, SAS, Mplus), experimental design and data collection (e.g., DirectRT, e-prime, mousetracking) or programming (e.g., R, MATLAB, python, javascript) is valued but not required. Consider this advice on writing your research statement: [Link]

Students interested in joining the lab should feel free to apply to the program that best reflects their research interests, but note that our primary affiliation is with the Social area of the Experimental Psychology track. I am unable to accept clinical students.

If interested, please send an email [[email protected]] for more specific details about the positions and see here for more detailed information about the school and program [Link].

While the position is open to candidates of all backgrounds, Canadian applicants are encouraged to apply. In particular, Canadian applicants should strongly consider applying for a Canada Graduate Scholarship, due Dec 1st [Link]. This scholarship would increase your salary and free up more of your time for research.
