We at the Memory and Imagination Lab are committed to diversity and inclusion in our hiring and research practices. We welcome applications from people of all identities and backgrounds as we continue to work towards creating an accountable and safe space in our lab. As part of our commitment to anti-racism and anti-oppression, we support and welcome our POC members and peers, our 2SLGBTQIA+ members and peers, and folks of all identities. We hope to contribute to a culture in which there are no barriers to entry for students who are interested in and excited about research.

We are located in the beautiful Audain Art Centre at 6398 University Blvd (Room 4041), Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4. Please contact us if you are interested in joining the lab. Come for the science, stay for the windows!

Update, October 2026: The laboratory is currently at capacity, and we are no longer accepting new students for the year. Dr. Palombo is on sabbatical and will not be growing the lab during that time. Responses to emails will be extremely slow. Dr. Palombo is recruiting a graduate student in this coming cycle. Dr Palombo will not be holding interviews before applications are due.

If you are considering appling to our lab in this cycle, we are recruiting students who are interested in studying emotional influences on episodic (including autobiographical) memory through a variety of approaches and techniques, including laboratory generated stimuli and naturalistic narratives. At the moment, the lab is prioritizing behavioural and psychophysiological techniques, with less of a focus on neuromaging.Dr. Palombo is open to possibly taking a postdoc if funding allows.
