Prospective Graduate Students

Prospective graduate students should apply to the psychology department’s PhD program. More information is available on the department website as well as the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (GSAS) website.

Prospective Research Assistants and Honors Students

Our lab welcomes committed individuals to apply for volunteer research assistant and honors student positions with our lab. RAs and honors students work directly under one of the lab’s graduate students or post-docs and gain valuable hands-on research experience.

Those interested should contact the graduate student or post-doc whose research most closely matches their own interests. Lab member research areas and contact information can be found on our People page.

Work-Study Program

Each academic year, the Higgins Lab is able to invite one student who qualifies for the Federal Work-Study program to be a paid research assistant in the lab. (Please see the psychology department’s website for more information on the Work-Study program.) While we are no longer accepting applications for the 2022-2023 academic year, we will update this page when applications reopen for the following year.
