The following researchers can supervise independent research projects for course credit via PSY 910R. Please click each Tutor’s name to access their lab website for a more detailed research statement and contact them directly if you would be interested in exploring opportunities to work with them.
Some Tutors are also willing to serve on Thesis Committees. Asterisked (*) members are eligible to serve as a primary Supervisor or Reader on a thesis committee without petition. All members are eligible to serve as a Co-Supervisor without a petition alongside a Departmental Faculty member as primary Supervisor.
If you have questions about who may be a good fit with your research interests, how to reach out to ask about research opportunities, or thesis committee eligibility, please contact Dr. Garth Coombs (garthcoombs@fas.harvard.edu).
