REU Spotlight 2024-2025

The Psychology Department at Rutgers–Newark has selected the following fellows for a 1-year, National Science Foundation funded internship, directed by Dr. Vanessa LoBue and Dr. Mauricio Delgado, designed for undergraduate Psychology majors from underrepresented backgrounds and universities with limited research experience. These fellows will work one-on-one with faculty members in our labs on projects exploring the impact of socio-emotional context on social and cognitive functioning. The projects span various subdisciplines within Psychology (social, developmental, cognitive, neuroscience) and use diverse methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral, fMRI, computational, self-report), offering a broad yet intensive research experience.
