Students
The UVa Social Development Lab typically accepts one to two doctoral and masters students per year 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.

Sara Rimm-Kaufman trains post-doctoral trainees in collaborative work at the lab, funded by an award from the U.S. Department of Education, Institute for Education Science.   Trainees become part of a network of post-docs at the Curry School of Education. Contact Julia Thomas for more information.
