Are You Interested in Joining the Lab?

Honours Team students working in the lab in 2023.

Thinking about a PhD?

We anticipate 1-2 openings for PhD students in the UQ Social Neuroscience Lab in 2027. Applications for admission to UQ as a postgraduate student are open year-round. Domestic (Australian) students can apply for Australian fellowships that include tuition and a stipend. International students are eligible to apply for UQ International fellowships, but these are particularly competitive. If you're interested in pursuing a PhD in the lab, please contact Eric at e.vanman@psy.uq.edu.

Are you an undergraduate or seeking an RA position?

Currently, we have no paid research assistant positions available in the lab. If, however, you are highly motivated and responsible, we would welcome you as a volunteer assistant. Our undergraduate assistants are fully trained in the different methods we use in the lab, and you'll very likely end up collecting data yourself for a study. You'll also be invited to attend our weekly lab meetings. Note that Psychology students also have various options to receive course credit for their Research Experience.

Looking for a Post-doctoral Position or Experience?

Currently, the lab has no funding to support a post-doc. We would welcome sponsorship of international postdocs who are seeking additional training in social neuroscience. Please contact Eric at e.vanman@psy.uq.edu.au for more details.

Honours in 2026?

Eric will be supervising honours students in 2026. You can find information about possible projects here. Please contact Eric at e.vanman@psy.uq.edu.
