BASP Virtual Open House on November 4
We are the Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) PhD program!
This page is dedicated to those interested in exploring opportunities within academia and getting involved in research. Here, you'll find an archive of job listings, scholarships, and conference opportunities, along with posts on mentorship programs and best practices in science. I recognize that sourcing opportunities in research can be a strenuous and anxiety-provoking process and that resources aren't always up-to-date or immediately helpful.
I'm also happy to share additional resources via LinkedIn, Twitter, or directly via email (annalisamyer1@gmail.com).
Discover research opportunities, graduate school resources, and more!
