We are always looking for motivated students wanting to study and research emotion and psychopathology. If you are interested in getting some research experience, please send an email to Amanda Purcell (Lab Manager) with a copy of your CV/resume, brief outline of your research interests, and the kinds of experiences you hope to gain by being part of the YPEP lab. Please note that a minimum 2 semester commitment of 8-10 hours per week is required.

Prospective Graduate Student?

Please get in touch if you are applying to graduate school programs and interested in joining our research team. The majority of graduate students in the YPEP lab are from the clinical area. However, students with basic interests in positive emotion and emotion regulation in the social/personality, cognitive, and developmental areas are also encouraged to join our group. Please contact June Gruber (Lab Director) with any questions about the YPEP lab or program at Yale.
