Interested in joining the lab as an undergraduate research assistant?

Thank you for your interest in joining the Deepest Beliefs Lab! RAs play a key role in our research and we are always looking for new members who are interested in the topics we study. We generally take about 2 to 3 new RAs per year and prioritize UNC Chapel Hill students.

To apply, please complete this form detailing your interest in the lab. If a role becomes available, you will receive an email from a lab manager or graduate student with more information.

Please note that positions are highly competitive. We generally select individuals who are willing to volunteer at least 6 hours per week (or 9 hr./wk. for course credit) but that is not a strict criterion. While previous research experience is a bonus, it is not a requirement. Unfortunately, paid positions are scarce, so most positions will likely be on a volunteer basis or for course credit.

Interested in joining the lab as a graduate student?

As of August 2025, the lab will be moving to The Ohio State University.

Dr. Gray will be accepting applications for graduate students to begin in Fall 2025. Interested applicants should apply through the Graduate School at OSU to the Social Psychology program (more info here).
