Graduate Student Applicant Openings

Dr. Elhai typically accepts one first-year psychology graduate student into his Research Lab each year. Students applying to the University of Toledo’s Clinical or Experimental Psychology Ph.D. programs interested in working in the Lab should contact Dr. Elhai to inquire about possible lab involvement (conference call/in-person discussion would happen only after formal interview invitation). 

Graduate students who work with Dr. Elhai begin involvement in scientific research with the Lab during their first semester of graduate work. They assist with ongoing research conducted within the Lab. In conjunction with Dr. Elhai, over their four to five years of graduate study, they develop and execute a master's thesis (if applicable) and doctoral dissertation. And they conduct additional scientific studies for presentation at national/international conferences and publication in scientific journals with Dr. Elhai. There are also opportunities to work in the Anxiety and Stress Lab, with which Dr. Elhai is affiliated. 

Graduate students should be: a) motivated and interested in collaborating on high-quality scientific research and publishing the results, b) interested in a research area that is related to one or more of Dr. Elhai's research objectives, and c) energetic and productive in collaborating on research.

For students considering applying to work with Dr. Elhai, who are not familiar with Toledo, some information about the City of Toledo is available.
