GRADUATE STUDENTS
Dr. Tabri is accepting one or two students to begin the graduate program in Psychology at Carleton University in Fall, 2020. He is interested in graduate students who will enter the Master’s program or the Doctoral program. Dr. Tabri’s decision to accept a graduate student is based in part on several criteria including, among other things, reference letters, grades, prior research experience, current research interests, research dissemination, and whether the student has applied for or is competitive for funding. Many of these criteria are part of the application to the graduate program in Psychology at Carleton University. For information on the program, please visit: https://carleton.ca/psychology/graduate-studies/
Dr. Tabri will give special consideration to applicants who have a strong academic background, strong reference letters, prior research experience, similar research interests, successfully communicated their research at professional conferences (e.g. through poster or other presentations) and/or in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and who have applied for or are competitive for funding. With regards to funding, applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for any and all fellowships for which they might be eligible. This includes external federal graduate fellowships offered by the Tri-Council Agencies, such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). There are also external provincial agencies (e.g., Ontario Graduate Scholarship) and other awards which are tenable in Ontario from which to seek funding. Moreover, there are internal awards offered by Carleton University (e.g, Teaching Assistantship, Entrance Scholarship, donor awards). For more information on external and internal funding opportunities and awards, please visit:

If you plan to apply or have applied to the graduate program, please send Dr. Tabri a brief introductory email and a copy of your CV. After the application deadline, Dr. Tabri will prepare a short list of applicants based on the above criteria and invite a small number of applicants to interview by telephone and/or in person.
