I am open to co-supervising PhD students and am particularly interested in working with those who have a substantive background in psychology, previous research experience, strong written communication and quantitative skills, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a goal-oriented approach to education. Pursuing an academic career, particularly obtaining a PhD, is a demanding journey that should be embraced as a way of life rather than merely a means to an end. Our work involves addressing phenomenon-driven research questions and rigorously testing theories against empirical data. As a PhD student, you will engage in extensive learning, hard work (often exceeding 40 hours per week), and uphold the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity. If you embody these qualities, and demonstrate willingness to embrace these challenges, I encourage you to contact me. My PhD graduates have secured academic positions in research-intensive institutions in Australia (e.g., Monash University, University of New South Wales, University of Western Australia), USA (e.g., University of Oklahoma), Spain (e.g., ESADE Business School), and the United Kingdom (e.g., University of Sussex).
