Students
The UVa Social Development Lab typically accepts one to two doctoral students per year as well as an occasional post-doctoral trainee to engage in mentored learning experiences and contribute to our work. These students typically matriculate through the Doctoral Training Program in Educational Psychology and Applied Developmental Science at the Curry School of Education. Opportunities for undergraduate students interested in obtaining research experiences are often available as well. Contact Julia Thomas for more information.

Research Staff
Periodically the lab hires staff to assist with various research projects.

Current Openings
The UVA Curry School of Education received an award from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences to hire two post-doctoral trainees as part of the Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in the Education Sciences beginning July 2010.

Trainees hired in 2010 will become part of a network of post-doctoral trainees at the Curry School of Education in research centers including the Center for the Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning, the Curry School Center for Positive Youth Development, the University of Virginia Center on Education Policy and Workforce Competitiveness, and research initiatives on effective teaching in higher education and STEM education, as well as trainees supported by independent grants.
