FYI.
Website link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15591816
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue of Journal of Applied Social Psychology focused on
Current Advances in the Study of Weight Stigma: Applied and Intersectional Lenses
Information on how and when to submit is below:
Guest Editors
Rachel M. Calogero (Western University, rcaloger@uwo.ca)
Angela Meadows (University of Exeter, drameadows@gmail.com)
Aims & Scope
Weight stigma is a form of social stigma that primarily targets higher-weight individuals in virtually every domain of daily living. Although the scientific literature has clearly linked experienced and internalized weight stigma to a multitude of negative downstream consequences, negative attitudes and behaviours toward higher-weight individuals because of their size or weight remain normative worldwide. We know very little about the mechanisms underlying why higher-weight bodies are stigmatized in the first place or how weight-based oppression operates in the lives of higher-weight people in a variety of social contexts and a multiplicity of social identity dimensions.
In this special issue, we encourage research that explores enacted, experienced, and/or internalized weight stigma processes in different social contexts, especially those contexts underrepresented in the weight stigma literature (e.g., medical settings, educational settings, leadership and organizational settings, physical activity), and/or provides an intersectional analysis of weight stigma and its consequences. We will consider both single- and multi-study papers. We focus on well-designed experimental, correlational, and longitudinal papers, and qualitative papers that make a significant theoretical advance to the field.
Interested authors should submit a brief abstract (1000-word limit) to Rachel Calogero (rcaloger@uwo.ca) by 01/14/2019. This abstract should specify the purpose of the studies, sample, methods, and preliminary results. Data collection should be completed at time of abstract submission.
Full submissions will be invited by 1/28/2019 and will be due by 4/30/2019. Please direct any inquiries (e.g., about suitability, timeline, etc.) to Rachel Calogero or Angela Meadows.

FYI. Calls for proposals: The Sociological Review Seminar Series 2019
FYI. Sociological Review Foundation small meeting funding
The Sociological Review Foundation makes available up to £10,000 each year to fund the organisation of scholarly seminars on any subject broadly within the publishing interests of the journal. It particularly supports research seminar series and/or research symposia that bring together established and new researchers to share and produce imaginative cutting-edge work of cultural and social significance. We seek proposals that involve collaborations across institutions and disciplines and welcome those that connect to wider communities and the arts.
The funding to run a single seminar or a series is offered annually through open competition to both widen the scope and readership of the TSR and provide the opportunity for scholars, early career researchers and research groups to benefit from connection and collaboration with TSR.
Deadline: 5th October 2018

FYI. Lectureship in Social Psychology, University of Auckland, NZ
We are inviting applications for a lectureship in Psychology (equivalent to a tenure-track Assistant Professor) from people who are able to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, as well as research supervision, in Social Psychology at the University of Auckland.
Appointees should have a PhD in Psychology or a related discipline and a strong record of publishing research in Social Psychology (broadly construed). We are particularly interested in applicants whose research area can connect with and extend existing research and teaching strengths in social psychology (for more information, see our web page at psych.auckland.ac.nz). We also encourage applications from people with knowledge or experience related to New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific context.
Applicants will need to demonstrate a capacity for achieving research excellence, gaining external research funds, and contributing to the development of research and teaching programmes within the School, particularly within Social Psychology. The successful applicant should also expect to carry a full graduate supervision load. We encourage diversity in our staff and students. Appointees should have the capacity to teach students from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
Deadline: 12th October 2018 (NZ time)
FYI. Funded PhD positions in experimental psychology, Oklahoma State
FYI. Funded PhD studentships
We are writing to announce multiple funded PhD positions for incoming graduate students in Experimental Psychology at Oklahoma State University.
OSU is one of very few universities in the world with three evolutionary psychologists-Jennifer Byrd-Craven, Davide Ponzi, and Jaimie Arona Krems-each of whom plans to accept a graduate student for the current cycle. Topics of interest can be found on their lab webpages, and include female sociality, friendship, cooperation, conflict, hormones and neurobiology, social cognition, human family systems, and stereotyping and prejudice.
Many of the ongoing programs of research fit under the umbrella of, or have substantial overlap with, social psychology.
Please extend this information to engaged and interested undergraduate students and others seeking to apply to graduate school this cycle. We welcome students from interdisciplinary backgrounds (e.g., biology, anthropology), and invite them to contact prospective advisors directly. The deadline for applications is December 1.
FYI. Janet Shibley Hyde Graduate Student Research Grant for Feminist Research
FYI. Janet Shibley Hyde Graduate Student Research Grant
The Hyde Grant Committee welcomes proposals for the Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants. These grants, each up to $500 (US), are awarded to doctoral psychology students to support feminist research. There are no geographical eligibility criteria.
The grants are made possible through the generosity of Janet Shibley Hyde, Ph.D. Past recipients of Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants are not eligible to apply. Because the purpose of this award is to facilitate research that otherwise might not be possible, projects that are beyond the data analysis stage are not eligible.
Deadlines: September 15th (fall deadline); March 15th (spring deadline):
