[#DIV28SUPER] UNT Behavioral Science PhD Program recruitment announcement

Dear Colleagues,
 
I am requesting that you share this announcement about applying to the University of North Texas (UNT) Behavioral Science PhD Program, which is part of the UNT Department of Psychology in Denton, located in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
 
In particular, I (Dr. Casey Guillot) will be looking to accept an applicant as a Behavioral Science graduate student to start in the Fall 2019 semester. This graduate student will be mentored by me and will become a part of my lab, the Disposition, Emotion, & Addiction Research (DEAR) Laboratory, which is broadly interested in the etiology of addictive behaviors and is currently focused on anxiety and cigarette smoking. More specifically, the DEAR Lab is preparing to initiate a multi-year experimental study on anxiety sensitivity and other individual difference factors (e.g., experiential avoidance and executive functioning) in relation to the effects of smoking components during tobacco abstinence. Along with me, other Behavioral Science faculty members with diverse research interests will also be considering applicants, and collaborating with additional UNT Psychology faculty members at some point is quite likely, whether from Behavioral Science, Clinical Psychology, and/or Counseling Psychology.
 
For students potentially interested in applying to work with me, I recommend visiting my lab website (https://psychology.unt.edu/disposition-emotion-addiction-research-dear-laboratory) for a summary of overarching theory and goals, current and planned research, prior publications, training opportunities, and photos and brief bios for people who are currently part of the DEAR Lab team. In addition to allowing for the ventilation of cigarette smoke, my lab is also equipped to handle the ventilation of vaping aerosol and could be used for alcohol administration, and thus future experimental studies involving e-cigarettes or doses of ethanol are also possibilities.

For further information on the UNT Behavioral Science PhD Program, including info on each research lab, please see the attached announcement. The deadline for applying to the Behavioral Science PhD Program is December 1.
 
Thank you for sharing this information.
 
Best,

Casey Guillot, PhD
