Social psychologist always chasing too many goals. There’s room for everyone on the nice list.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

I took this job for many reasons, including to increase post-bacc and post-doc training opportunities for rising stars in Social Psych. So please share with the people you know who fit that description. 4/4

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

I have a surprising professional update: I've moved to a new position! As of 8/8, I am a Kaiser Family Foundation Chair in Clinical Translational Science at the TSET Health Promotion Research Center (OUHSC/Stephenson Cancer Center) in Tulsa, OK. And I'm hiring! 1/n

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

In the nearish future, I'll be accepting post-doc applications. If you will finishing up a degree in Social/Health/Clinical psych and are looking for training areas in motivation, relationships, clinical trials, & health behavior, please reach out. Starting in Jan or May. 3/n

@ArturiaMelson @VTPsychologyIO Congratulations Arturia!!!!

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

I haven't shared here yet but I will be recruiting a new PhD student next year. With funding from NIH, we're doing some pretty cool dyadic process work in smoking and I'm keeping up with questions about motivation more broadly. I hope you'll send students my way.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

@erinomarakunz Ok, so is it actually happening there? I’m so not interested in making multiple accounts if people are just to be back here in another month.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

Our training area is interdisciplinary, making this a potentially ideal place where someone has strong research interests in both social/cognitive and neuroscience. As far as academic jobs go, I think this one is pretty sweet. We hope to see your applications!

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

We are hiring at UGA! If you are a good fit, please consider applying! I'd love to see a social neuroscientist in this role. Note: While I am not on the search committee, I am the chair of the training program where this hire will be housed.

@colinsmithpsych @ChrisCrandall19 @HehmanLab This is so relatable…

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

@jacasiegel I love the cropped version of it. Yes, you look serious. You are serious! It’s serious but soft and I think that combination is 💯

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

@AbdoElnakouri @mrossignacmilon @KoriLKrueger @UwaterlooPsych @UWaterloo @iesebschool @Columbia @CarnegieMellon @PittTweet It’s a fabulous paper, Abdo and colleagues!

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

I was this many years old when I realized I don’t hate writing. I actually love it. I just hate how difficult it is to make sense. Big thoughts today.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

@lisapsy1 For me, the most stressful part of being an academic is that I’m never caught up and things are rarely done. I’ve grown in genuine acceptance of that, which has started to reduce my stress levels. I also build in a low stress day each week that is just for me and slow work.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

And if you’re interested in putting together or joining symposium, don’t be shy about reaching out to people in the southeast. Most of us are willing to join together for a session but need a prompt.

[Society for Personality and Social Psychology @SPSPnews]

Are you a personality or social psychologist based in the southeastern United States? Don't forget to submit for #SSSP2023 before September 13. Learn more about the SSSP Southeast Conference below and join us on November 4 in Charlotte, NC!

@erinomarakunz Once the community culture starts, it snowballs. Everyone works to motivate each other. They realize what a rare chance they have to get and give so much and the vets set the stage for rookies.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

@erinomarakunz We don’t do lab meetings-we do lab work sessions (2 hours each) each week with half the lab at each. Students master skills and teach others (e.g., abstracts, coding, IRB, Qualtrics, Sona). Peer review of abstracts, grad school statements, studies, etc.

[Michelle vanDellen @ScienceofGoals]

The Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists will be returning to our annual Fall conference in November! This conference is a great place for students to present and to catch up with local colleagues. Hope to see you there! #SSSP2023 https://t.co/Fy9JEMqzvH
