Prospective PhD:

Dr. Balcetis is seeking students who wish to have her as a primary and secondary advisor. Any students with interests are encouraged to apply. Members of underrepresented groups who bring a difference in perspective and experience are especially encouraged to apply, also. 

Undergraduate, Post-bach, Masters, and Graduate Research Assistants:

Research assistants have an opportunity to advance within the lab and move forward to independent research and thesis projects.

​

Current NYU undergraduates are encouraged to apply; these positions can be compensated with course credit in Independent Study or research experience. Please reach out to Dr. Andy Hilford for more information on this option. Some students qualify for work study and can use their hours towards research experience. Other students might qualify for Wasserman Internship Fellowships. Dr. Balcetis can serve as the advisor for these programs.
