Jobs & Internships
The department periodically receives job or internship postings from organizations interested in recruiting current students or recent graduates and we'll post those here as they are received. Many positions are advertised in the spring to attract recent graduates.
Past opportunities have included research assistants, lab managers, and clinical research coordinators at institutions such as Brown University, Georgetown University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School.
Hello,
We hope the start of your school year or preparations for the fall have been going well! We are following up from the Application Support Group (ASG) at New York University—a peer-led mentorship initiative by current Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers across Cognition & Perception, Social Psychology, and the Neuroscience Program at NYU. The initiative is aimed at supporting senior undergraduates and recent graduates applying to Ph.D. programs in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and related fields. ASG supports students applying to Ph.D. programs offered by any institution (not just NYU).
We have extended our deadline for students to enroll as mentees to September 23rd, and would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this opportunity through your department’s mailing lists, advising centers, or other communication channels. Please find the student-directed announcement below, along with a flyer and several versions of a social media post to facilitate distribution. We’d like to reach advanced undergraduate students and Masters students who are considering applying to Ph.D. programs. Enrollment opens on July 15th and closes September 23rd.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you in advance for your support—we’d love to help students at your institution to take the next step in their graduate journey!
Student-Facing Announcement (Please Distribute):
Hello!
We are excited to announce that applications are open for this year’s Application Support Group (ASG) —a New York University-based, student-led initiative supporting prospective Ph.D. applicants in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and related disciplines.
The ASG is a free program led by Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers at NYU, designed to guide prospective Ph.D. applicants, especially those who have little access to other support. We offer 1‑on‑1 mentorship with current NYU Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers including expert feedback on your Statement of Purpose, CV, interview prep, and general guidance. Anyone considering applying to US-based programs in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and related disciplines is welcome to apply. ASG supports students applying to Ph.D. programs offered by any institution (not just NYU). This program is open to all undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and Masters students, regardless of country of origin.
Enrollment Period is July 15th - September 23rd, 2026
If you're selected for the 1:1 mentorship, you'll hear from us by the end of September. If you aren't selected or missed the deadline, don’t worry: here is a link to join an ASG Discord server, where you can ask questions to mentors and attend group office hours that will begin in early October. The Discord is open to everyone who submits an application, regardless of whether they’re selected or submit their application after the deadline.
Apply here!
We look forward to supporting your grad-school journey!
Best,
NYU ASG Team
