Lab Director, Dr. Kristen Lindquist, will be joining the faculty in the Department of Psychology at Ohio State University as the Weary Endowed Chair of Social Psychology. The lab will thus be moving to OSU in summer 2025. We’re excited for a new location and new research opportunities, but sad to leave our home for 12 years at UNC. Graduate applicants interested in applying to work with Dr. Lindquist should apply through OSU’s department. See more at Join.
