NYU Psychology Virtual Research Program, July 19-23

Considering a PhD in social or developmental psychology, cognition, or perception? Join the New York University Psychology Department for the 2021 Virtual Research Program. We aim to offer insights (on research and the application process) for underrepresented individuals.

How it Works

We are offering a variety of opportunities, workshops, and experiences that you would normally get with an in-person research program. We’ve recreated them for this virtual experience. All events will take place over Zoom in the afternoons and evenings, Eastern Standard Time, to accommodate students from different American timezones. Some events will be recorded and shared later. Space is limited for some program events, and is unlimited for others.

Events Include

Research experience, introduction to data analysis in R, data visualization in R, presentation skills, one-on-one mentorship and career guidance, panel discussions with graduate students, mini-conference to learn about current research projects in the department, resume and research statement building workshops, and more.

Who is this Meant For

This program is intended for students who are considering applying to the NYU PhD program in social psychology, cognition and perception, or developmental psychology. This program will not provide information or experience relevant to clinical psychology, counseling, or other areas of study that do not align with what our NYU Psychology faculty study. We encourage applicants to review the list of social (here), cognition & perception (here), developmental (here), and quantitative faculty (here) and ensure that their interests in graduate study align with those of these faculty.

We are dedicated to creating a scholarly community that is enriched by individuals who, through their various backgrounds and life experiences, contribute to an intellectually challenging and inclusive educational environment. Our priorities are to maximize opportunities for people identifying as members of minority racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ+, first-generation students, and those experiencing economic hardships.

Other Details

There are no fees associated with participating in this program. There is no compensation that those participating will be offered.
