Join the lab!

The Goodman Emotion and Resilience Lab motto is Come As You Are. Lab members, visitors, and research participants are invited to bring their authentic selves to our lab, regardless of identity, role in the lab, or scholastic status. To learn more about our lab culture, please see our lab mission and values statement.

Research Assistants: We are always looking for hardworking, thoughtful, and responsible undergraduates or post-graduates. If you are passionate about science and wish to gain more experience, there are opportunities to work in the lab as a volunteer research assistant (RA). Please complete our short application if you are interested in joining.

RAs complete mission-critical research tasks such as developing literature reviews, recruiting participants, conducting participant interviews, developing Qualtrics surveys, coding data for studies, and assisting peers and mentors with ongoing projects. All RAs work with a graduate student mentor.

Graduate Students: Dr. Goodman is NOT recruiting a graduate student this application cycle (Fall 2025 recruitment). Please visit the GW Psychology Department website to learn more about the program and other faculty who are recruiting students.
