Our lab is moving to Harvard University's Psychology department in Fall 2025. 

We are looking for a postdoc to join the lab starting Fall 2025. This is a two-year Postdoctoral Fellow position. Our group studies identity processes, language, group dynamics, and political psychology, using an array of methods including natural language processing and experiments. 

If you are interested, apply here!

Feel free to email Ashwini if you have any questions. 

Thank you for your interest! Please check this page later this fall to learn about whether we will be recruiting a student. 

We receive many many emails from prospective students, and it is impossible to review CVs/materials or meet with so many prospective students individually. For this reason, we generally try to stick to the official admissions process of our institution. Please email us only if you have questions that are not addressed on this page. If you have already emailed us, no worries. If you have not heard back, please don't take it personally-- your email likely got lost in the mix.

If you're interested in getting involved in our lab's research (beyond completing a thesis project), we do not currently have any open research assistant positions. You may fill out an interest form [Link] to receive updates about future RA openings.
