Developing Minds Lab
Oklahoma State University ｜Department of Psychology
We are currently seeking motivated undergraduate and PhD students to join our team, where you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects and gain valuable experience in the field of psychology. If you’re interested in joining our lab, please email Dr. Chi-Lin Yu.
PhD students
We are excited to welcome new PhD students for the upcoming application cycle, starting in Fall 2026! If you’re passionate about our lab’s research topics or eager to develop your own research program in this area, I encourage you to apply. I am dedicated to supporting my mentees in shaping their research paths and achieving their career aspirations, whether they are in research, teaching, industry, or beyond. I also invite applicants who are interested in co-mentorship (please check the OSU faculty website for more details). Please reach out to me before applying if you have any questions or want to discuss whether your background aligns with our research.
Undergraduate students
Our goal is to immerse undergraduate students in research, including experimental design, data collection, analysis, and science communication, while fostering critical thinking and independence, such as generating new ideas. During the school year, we ask that you either sign up for credits or apply for other OSU funding to support your work. Please note that to fully engage in this experience, we require a commitment of at least 9 hours per week, for at least one year. We look forward to supporting your growth and contributions!
