Joining the Lab

The Self-Regulation and Motivation Laboratory promotes equity, diversity and inclusion in achieving and sustaining excellence in our research, training, and outreach. We are committed to an intellectual climate that is at once welcoming, nurturing, and challenging, and that respects the full spectrum of human diversity such as race, ethnicity, cultural heritage, gender identity, age, socio-economic status, religion, sexual orientation, mental and physical ability, and national origin. Members of the lab work actively to create and maintain an environment of inclusion, mutual respect, safety, and support.
