The Social Decisions Lab at the University of Florida is recruiting a fully funded PhD student starting Fall 2027. Housed in the Department of Psychology, our lab investigates how people navigate uncertain social decisions and how these decisions shape relationships and well-being.
Current research directions include:
- Computational models of social decision-making under uncertainty
- Social connection and loneliness
- The impact of emerging technologies (particularly AI) on human relationships
Our lab uses behavioral experiments, longitudinal methods, and neuroimaging in our investigations. We welcome applicants from psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. Students will have opportunities to develop their own questions within these research areas.
Application deadline: December 1, 2026
