Join Us

Graduate students

Dr. Farrell is planning to accept a new student to start graduate school in Fall 2024. Individuals should apply to the PhD program in Social Psychology at Miami University by December 1, 2023. Applicants should have a strong undergraduate record, research experience in social psychology or biobehavioral health, research interests that clearly align with the themes and focuses of MARSH Lab, and a commitment to working with community samples. Prospective students can check out the department website to find out more about the Social Psychology program at Miami and how to apply, and can email Dr. Farrell if they have additional questions about MARSH Lab.

Undergraduate RA’s

RA’s are expected to commit 6-10 hours per week to working in the lab (depending on the position and goals of the lab that semester), and will be required to sign up for research credit. The lab will hire new RA’s in August 2023. To receive an application, email Dr. Farrell with “Potential RA” in the subject line and include your name, major, GPA, class year, and one sentence describing why you’re interested in working in the lab.
