Please print out a lab application form and bring it to the "red room" (034 Gilmer Hall). Or you can contact graduate student Jesse Graham (jgraham@virginia.edu) with questions.

We generally require an overall GPA of 3.3. Undergraduate research assistants help with all aspects of the design, execution, and analysis of experiments. Each student is assigned to a research team under the supervision of a graduate student, or of prof. Haidt. We meet as a full group every other week to share findings and ideas.

Message from Jon Haidt: My lab is fairly full right now, so I do not expect to take on any one new as a primary advisor for Fall 2008. If you are also interested in the work of other faculty members in the social area then by all means apply. We have a very collegial area. All grad students work with multiple faculty, and all faculty work with students that are not their primary advisees. If our interests match I'd be glad to collaborate with you, but Ii just don't have the space or resources to be the primary advisor to a fifth graduate student next year. (On the other hand, if your application is outstanding and our interests fit perfectly, I might be willing to make an exception.)

Please note: the Social area gets 60-80 applications per year and we usually admit only 4-6 people. In general successful applicants have GRE scores in the high 600's or above and strong letters of recommendation. You do not need to have been a psychology major; breadth of experience is valued.
