Join the Perry Lab!

We are committed to creating and contributing to a working/learning environment that embodies the following principles:

  • We believe in cooperation, collaboration, and collegiality within and outside the lab
  • We seek ways to include others in a project when possible and acknowledge people's contributions appropriately
  • We seek to create synergistic win-win situations whenever possible
  • We seek to welcome new team members and are open to their contributions while, at the same time, holding certain principles constant
  • We behave in ways which are trustworthy and deserving of respect; and we expect to be respected and trusted
  • We are accountable to ourselves, one another, our lab, our program, our university, and our profession
  • We believe we are all here to learn and grow, regardless of age or academic credentials
  • We believe each member should receive individualized, developmentally-appropriate supervision/support/feedback, based on their particular needs and goals
  • We emphasize the value of peer support and the mentorship of more senior lab members to more junior ones
  • We support and encourage one another and have fun together as we work
  • We see the lab as a secure base, as we venture out into new learning experiences in research and clinical work
  • We give our work a high priority but also value balance in our personal and professional lives and support one another in doing so
  • We seek always to uphold the highest standards of the profession (as articulated in the CPA Code of Ethics) in research, teaching, clinical work, and supervision
  • We believe we need to review our principles periodically and evaluate the extent to which we are living them with integrity
