Faculty Considering New Advisees

The Psychology PhD program requires all students to have primary advising by a member of the core faculty in their chosen area of specialization. As you prepare to apply, please use this list to determine whether the faculty member(s) you are most interested in working with are accepting new advisees for the Fall 2024 cycle. 

In the application portal, you will select an area of specialization to apply to. You will also be prompted to identify the faculty member(s) in that area that you would like to work within an advising capacity. Only faculty accepting advisees for Fall 2024 will be listed. See the section of the Application Checklist titled “Department/Program Forms” for additional details on the faculty selection component of the application.

Applicants are welcome to email the faculty members with whom they are most interested in working to learn more about their research and advising practices. We recommend that you start by familiarizing yourself with the faculty member’s profile, recent scholarship, and lab before reaching out with an email to introduce yourself.

Applicants to the Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology area of specialization should note that the area does not admit students to work with specific advisors or labs and instead encourages students to work with several I-O faculty during their time in the program. Students in the area must still have a primary advisor at all times, but are supported in changing advisors as their research interests develop.
