How to join the NEST Lab

For undergrads and recent grads:
If you are an undergraduate or recent college graduate interested in volunteering as a research assistant, please write to our lab manager at gf_663@usc.edu with a copy of your resume and/or undergraduate transcript and a brief statement of why you’re interested in our lab, what projects you would like to help with, and what your availability is like.

For prospective graduate students:
If you are interested in applying to our lab as a graduate student, first check out the graduate admissions on the USC Psychology website, particularly the table of admitted students’ GPA averages here. Even if you are a perfect fit for our lab, you still need to be admitted to the clinical program as a whole, so you should ideally be in the ballpark of these numbers. Next, take some time to read through our research and publications. If you’re still interested in joining the lab after that, get in touch with Dr. Saxbe. Include a copy of your CV and tell us why our work interests you.
