Title: Assistant Professor
College: Social & Behavioral Science
School / Department: Psychology
Mentoring Philosophy:
Consistent with our research focus, we view a strong and supportive student-mentor relationship as essential for professional success. A SPUR student can expect regular contact with Dr. Baucom and the rest of the HEART Lab research team (lab manager, project coordinators, PhD students, and other undergraduate and post-baccalaureate RAs), including daily interactions with team members and contact with Dr. Baucom, the HEART Lab Manager, and the primary PhD student on the project multiple times per week.
An individualized training plan will be developed, and the SPUR trainee will receive intensive training in all aspects of the project with which they will be involved (e.g., survey development and distribution in Qualtrics, data management in SPSS) as well as in general research skills (e.g., project management, organizational skills) and other areas of interest to the trainee. SPUR students will have support from the entire HEART Lab team in achieving their individualized SPUR training goals.

I am NOT reviewing Clinical area PhD student applications this admissions cycle (i.e., to begin Fall 2024). More information on the program is available here.
RA opportunities
RAs in the HEART Lab are involved with several studies related to relationships and health. Course credit is available for interested U students, but not required. More information is available on my lab website (see "Want to become a Research Assistant at the HEART Lab?").
