I'm an undergraduate sophomore, doubling majoring in psych and social work and minoring in biology. I'm currently looking to go the MSW/LCSW route, but I want to keep my options open in case I do decide to try for a PhD or PsyD., which means research. The problem I'm having is that none of the professors at my school seem to be involved in research at this time (and yes, this is a research university, albiet a small one). I've emailed a few introducing myself and saying why I'm interested in their specific research, and I get really encouraging responses and offers to meet with them to discuss their research topics/my interests (which I take them up on), so I don't think I'm presenting myself horribly or anything. The provblem is that they all seem to say that they have no work currently going on in their labs....
I do biomedical research, which is actually vaguely related to psych (we study rather certain chemicals work with serotonin receptors in cells), but I don't think an admissions committee would consider that as psych research...
Any advice?
Thanks.
