Graduate Students

Dr. Hou will be accepting new graduate students to the 911³Ô¹Ï Counselling Psychology program for the 2025 application cycle (Fall 2026 admissions).

Prospective students with an interest in the following areas of interests are encouraged to apply:

  • exploring how culture shapes the health and well-being of immigrant, racialized, or neurodivergent youth people and families.
  • creating and testing culturally responsive strategies to improve care experiences and engagement in care for young people with serious illnesses, such as eating disorders or cancer. 

Please visit the 911³Ô¹Ï Counselling Psychology graduate program for more information.

Dr. Hou welcomes inquiries from prospective graduate students in other areas within the Faculty of Education at 911³Ô¹Ï and related fields, where there is a strong alignment of research interests and subject to further discussion.

Undergraduate Students

We are currently accepting applications for undergraduate students to join our team. Students gain hands-on research experience at the intersection of clinical/counseling cultural, and pediatric psychology, and contribute to ongoing projects focused on culture, child and youth health, and implementation science/knowledge mobilization.

Opportunities are available through volunteer research assistant positions, work-study programs, and summer studentships. A minimum commitment of 6 hours per week is required, with availability during regular business hours at 911³Ô¹Ï’s Burnaby campus and occasionally at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute.

If you are interested in getting involved, please email Dr. Sharon Hou at sharon_hou@sfu.ca to request an application form.
