Get involved
Join the Lab
The lab is currently recruiting research students from within ANU only. Collaboration inquiries are welcome from anyone, at ANU or elsewhere.
Ways to get involved
PhD & Masters students
Research higher-degree students working on psychometrics, dimensional personality models, or AI applications in psychological science. Primary supervision, co-supervision, and panel chairing are all available depending on fit.
Honours students
A one-year research project within one of the lab's four research streams, with hands-on training in psychometric methods.
Research assistants & volunteers
Support for ongoing projects: scale development, data collection, or the lab's open-source software tools.
Collaborators
Researchers, clinicians, or developers interested in a formal or informal collaboration on any of the lab's research streams or open-source projects, at ANU or elsewhere.
What we look for
- A genuine interest in psychological measurement that is precise, rigorous, and useful.
- Comfort with (or willingness to learn) quantitative methods: IRT, CFA, network analysis, or statistical programming.
- For AI-focused work: curiosity about large language models and a thoughtful, critical approach to what they can and can't do well.
- For clinically-oriented work: an interest in translating measurement science into real assessment and treatment practice.
Express your interest
