Our lab is regularly recruiting doctoral students (Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology), masters students (Masters in Scientific Psychology), and undergraduate research assistants.

​​If you are interested in learning more about these positions, please see below.

Applying to the PhD Program in Clinical Psychology

For those applying to the PhD program in clinical psychology, we are particularly interested in individuals who represent a very close match to our own research interests and activities. We believe that a “good fit” is essential, both for productivity and satisfaction. Successful applicants are likely to be those who easily meet our department’s high standards for GREs, undergraduate GPAs, and strong letters of recommendation. You should have documented experience in research and/or clinical experience related to many of our areas of interest. Since we strive to excel as “scientist-practitioners,” it is likely that successful applicants also have this model of aspiration. You should also be intellectually curious, conscientious, motivated, a team player, and “ready to pull up your sleeves.” Applicants who adopt a biopsychosocial model of health and mental health, as well as a “cognitive & behavioral” framework, are likely to “fit in” our lab.

​Applying to the MS Program in Scientific Psychology

Each year, we are interested in taking on one new MS student in our research lab. We are looking for the same qualities in our  Masters in Scientific Psychology applicants are we are in the qualities described above for doctoral applicants. Due to the fact that even great students may not necessary have yet identified a strong area of interest, they should consider that being a member of our lab as a Masters in Scientific Psychology can serve as one means of helping to solidify a more concrete set of career goals. Many of our former MS students have gone on to pursue a doctoral degree in psychology.

Undergraduates Wanting to Apply to Volunteer as Research Assistants in the Nezu Stress/Coping Lab

We are continuously accepting undergraduate and post-bachelor graduates as volunteer research assistants in the lab. Serving as a research assistant provides individuals with experience in learning about research production and psychology and can provide a meaningful experience for those considering graduate or professional careers in psychology. This can also provide an exciting opportunity for undergraduates interested in completing a senior research thesis. We are looking for those interested in psychology or related career trajectory (e.g., those interested in pursuing a graduate degree), as well as those who are intellectually curious, conscientious, motivated, a team player, and “ready to pull up your sleeves.”

We require a minimum of a 10 hour/week commitment, but also accept and warmly welcome Drexel Undergraduates interested in completing a part-time or full-time co-op in our lab. As part of the time commitment, we require research assistants to attend our weekly lab meetings on Wednesdays from 4:30 - 6:30pm. Additionally, we strongly prefer candidates who can commit to a minimum of four terms, or one year, of volunteer work.

If you are interested, and believe this lab is a good fit for your interests, please email Lauren Johnson (Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student) at [email protected] and include the following information: (1) a brief statement of interest explaining how the lab fits with you research interests and educational/professional goals, (2) a current resume or C.V., and (3) 1-2 informal recommendations from a current or recent professor and/or supervisor, sent directly to Lauren.
