If you are an undergraduate or graduate student I hope you’ll drop by my office in Stabler Hall (room 502) and we can discuss your future in the field of psychology. I am almost always looking for graduate and undergraduate students to train as researchers, but be aware that you must be willing to commit several hours a week to be a researcher.
Check our laboratories page for some idea of the facilities we have available. I’m very interested in creating research projects for graduates and undergraduates. If you’re considering a professional career in psychology, research experience is an invaluable asset. To contact Dr. Mastin, email dfmastin@ualr.edu.
