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. 

You can email us if you have any questions that are not addressed on this page. Otherwise, there's not much point of emailing us. It is not feasible for us to review your CV or materials over email because we receive many emails a day and it's difficult to keep up. If you do email Ashwini about your interest and don't hear back, please don't take it personally. If you hear from us, that's not a signal about much either.
