The ArticuLab always has research opportunities for motivated and hardworking undergraduates! If you are interested in learning how to analyze human communicative behavior and/or do computer programming of virtual humans and educational technologies, contact Professor Cassell.

The Center for Technology and Social Behavior gathers researchers from across Northwestern University and beyond to study and participate in technological developments in their broadest possible contexts. It is a central goal of the center to support researchers in their quest to understand the role that technology plays in our everyday social interactions, and to facilitate the development of the next generation of technologies that will work towards supporting positive social ends.

For more information or to participate in the activities of the CTSB, please see the CTSB website, or contact the director, Professor Justine Cassell.

Technology and Social Behavior (TSB) is a joint PhD program between the School of Communication and School of Engineering. People's social behavior with respect to technology is a topic that has concerned diverse disciplines, but it has been rare to find graduate training that prepares students to bridge several of those fields in the way that is so demanded by both academic and industry research jobs of today. This Ph.D. program takes students from a variety of backgrounds and gives them rigorous training in Humanities, Social Sciences and Engineering methodologies to allow them to understand technological developments in their broadest possible contexts. Students should either have a technological background already, or be prepared to acquire the relevant skills early in their graduate program, and the implementation or production of media, information or communication technology is an expected part of the program of study.

For more information about admission, see the TSB PhD website or contact the director, Professor Justine Cassell.
