Join the Lab

Prospective graduate students

Dr. Park will be reviewing applications for graduate students for the 2027-2028 academic year. For information about the Social Psychology program at Rutgers University, click here.

Volunteer research assistants

We accept applications from undergraduate students and recent graduates on a rolling basis. As a volunteer research assistant, you will gain firsthand experience conducting psychological research. Depending on ongoing projects, your work may include scheduling and running participants, preprocessing physiological data, pilot-testing study procedures, coding behavioral data, or conducting preliminary analyses. With experience, research assistants may also have opportunities to present research posters at academic conferences or contribute to manuscript preparation.

​

Our lab's work is highly interdisciplinary (as is relationship science itself!). We welcome applications from students in a wide range of majors who are interested in learning about and contributing to the theories and methods of relationship science. Prior coursework in social psychology (830:321 or equivalent) is encouraged but not required.

​​

Before applying, please ensure that you​

a) can attend our bi-weekly lab meeting (schedule TBA), and 
b) can commit 5-10 hours per week for at least two semesters.

​​

We carefully review every application, so please take the time to submit a thoughtful one.
