Prospective Graduate Students
The lab is looking for graduate students that are interested in examining personality and other individual differences; understanding why people think, feel, and behave the way they do; and how/why personality changes (or doesn't change!) over time.
Please check out recent publications to think about how your own research interests fit within them and how you may want to build on any existing studies.
All applications for Ph.D. students must be submitted through the Texas A&M application portal.
The application deadline is in December. I recommend starting to explore potential programs/advisors early!
If you are a prospective graduate interested in joining the lab, please reach out (ajwright@tamu.edu) if you’re curious about fit!
Undergraduate Research Assistants
Each semester, the lab welcomes applications from undergraduate students that are interested in learning about and contributing to research that examines personality and other individual differences; tries to understand why people think, feel, and behave the way they do; and investigates how/why personality changes (or doesn't change!) over time.
Students working in the lab will have the opportunity to be on publications and submit their own projects to conferences. Check out recent publications to think about how your own research interests fit within them and how you may want to build on any existing studies.
Students wishing to join the lab for course credit (PBSI 491) should be mindful of semester-specific deadlines for submitting research contracts. For the most up-to-date information about availability in the different research labs within the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Texas A&M, please check the PBSI Research Opportunities spreadsheet.
