Graduate Applicants
Please check back in Fall 2025 for updates regarding graduate admissions for the 2025-2026 admissions cycle.
Important Notice Regarding Graduate Student Acceptance Inquiries: We kindly request that you refrain from sending emails to Dr. Sheridan regarding the acceptance of graduate students. To ensure fairness and uphold our commitment to equitable practices, Dr. Sheridan has chosen not to respond to such emails. We recognize that individuals well-versed in academia are likely to consider emailing professors as an advantage in the selection process whereas folks with less experience might not even consider doing this. The CIRCLE Lab has established a specific protocol designed to guarantee that every application material is reviewed by Dr. Sheridan once it has been formally submitted.
Job Openings
We are not currently looking for post-bacc research assistants. Future opportunities will be posted on this website and advertised on UNC’s PeopleAdmin site.
