Each year, Northwestern Career Advancement hosts graduate and professional schools on campus. These information sessions are a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about various programs and meet institutional representatives. I’ve attached a list of all upcoming law school visits for this fall. Information is also available in CareerCat, and students can RSVP in CareerCat for these events.
The UC Berkeley Language and Cognitive Development Lab, directed by Dr. Mahesh Srinivasan, is accepting applications for Ph.D students entering in the fall of 2017. Our lab’s research broadly focuses on how linguistic, cognitive and social abilities develop and interact in early childhood (more specific research projects and papers can be found at our website). Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in psychology, linguistics, or cognitive science. Prior research experience and coursework in these areas is preferred.
The Language and Cognitive Development Lab is part of the Institute for Human Development, which also houses other developmental labs in the psychology department, including labs directed by Professors Silvia Bunge, Alison Gopnik and Fei Xu. UC Berkeley Ph.D. students receive a comprehensive education in developmental science and research. Prospective students can learn more about our lab and access previous research articles here. Interested applicants should apply through the Department of Psychology, and can email Professor Srinivasan at [email protected] for more information. The deadline for receiving applications is November 19th. Please see the attached flier for information about graduate studies in Developmental Science at the University of Maryland. Feel free to forward!

The Developmental Division of the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Connecticut is currently recruiting highly motivated students interested in pursuing a PhD in Psychology with a focus on child development. The core faculty members in the Developmental Division are unified by a focus on the critical role that contexts play in the processes that govern the emergence and organization of cognition and behavior during development. Our specific research interests span several areas of development, including infant perception, language development, cognitive development, socio-emotional development, developmental cognitive neuroscience and atypical development in children with complex neurobehavioral disorders including autism spectrum disorders, dyslexia and specific language impairment. Our faculty- led laboratories highlight these research areas: ·
Dr. Marie Coppola’s Language Creation Lab focuses on the role of the learner in language development, the emergence of new (sign) languages and the relationship of language experience to cognitive development, particularly numerical cognition. http://languagecreationlab.uconn.edu/· Dr. Kimberly Cuevas’ C.A.P. Lab investigates how underlying brain-behavior associations contribute to the development of early cognitive processes (e.g., imitation, memory, learning, executive function). http://kidcaplab.uconn.edu/· Drs. Jim Green and Gwen Gustafson direct the Infancy Lab, which focuses on social and prelinguistic development in the first two years of life, especially the roles that changes in infants’ capabilities play in altering the caregiving environment. http://psych.uconn.edu/faculty/james-a-green/ **Not accepting new students 2016-2017** · Dr. Nicole Landi’s Lab studies typical and atypical language and reading development throughout the lifespan using multiple cognitive neuroscience and genetic methods. http://landi.lab.uconn.edu/ · Dr. Letitia Naigles’ Child Language Lab investigates the influences of environment and biology on children’s acquisition of language, comparing children learning a variety of languages as well as children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. http://cll.uconn.edu/ · Dr. Adam Sheya’s Lab investigates the relationship between the process of perceiving and acting and the development of learning, exploration and problem solving between late infancy and 5 years of age. http://homepages.uconn.edu/~ads13009/home.html · Dr. Rhiannon Smith’s Social and Emotional Development Lab investigates the impact of friendships and other peer relationships on social and emotional adjustment in childhood and adolescence. http://psych.uconn.edu/faculty/rhiannon-smith/ Our Program has strong connections with multiple interdisciplinary programs including, the NSF funded IGERT: Language Plasticity – Genes Brain Cognition & Computation program http://igert.cogsci.uconn.edu/, the Cognitive Science Programhttp://cogsci.uconn.edu/, The Center for the Ecological study of Perception and Action (CESPA) http://ione.psy.uconn.edu/, and Haskins Laboratories http://haskins.yale.edu/ . Additional Resources available to doctoral students include the new UConn Brain Imaging Research Center, a 3200 sq foot suite for imaging design acquisition and analysis that features a 3T scanner for functional and functional MRI as well as diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and simultaneous EEG and MRI recording http://birc.uconn.edu/, as well as the Kids in Developmental Science (KIDS) cross disciplinary resource for community engagement and recruitment http://kids.uconn.edu/ Our program of study requires five years to complete. Typically, graduate students receive financial support for all five years in the form of teaching and research assistantships. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the department admissions page for more information: http://devpsych.uconn.edu/ Applications received by December 1 will be given preferential status for financial support (Departmental and University fellowships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships); applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed for admission until February 1. The University of Connecticut is a top-20 public university in the U.S (US News and World Report). The Department of Psychological Sciences is routinely ranked in top 10 in U.S. grant funding and its doctoral program is ranked in the top 30 public research universities by The National Research Council. The University of Connecticut is committed to building and supporting a multicultural and diverse community of students, faculty and staff. The diversity of students, faculty and staff continues to increase, as does the number of honors students, valedictorians and salutatorians who consistently make UConn their top choice. More than 100 research centers and institutes serve the University’s teaching, research, diversity, and outreach missions, leading to UConn’s ranking as one of the nation’s top research universities. UConn’s graduate students are a critical link to fostering and expanding our vibrant, multicultural and diverse University community. As an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity employer, UConn encourages applications from women, veterans, people with disabilities and members of traditionally underrepresented populations. Marketing PhD programs (the University of Colorado’s,in particular) can be an excellent place for students interested in social and cognitive psychology.
Several of our behavioral faculty have received PhDs in psychology or cognitive science (Phil Fernbach, Lawrence Williams, John Lynch, and Peter McGraw) and other behavioral faculty are doing work on consumer psychology (Nick Reinholtz, Bart de Langhe, Margaret Campbell, and Donnie Lichtenstein). They are publishing their research in top marketing journals (e.g., Journal of Consumer Research; Journal of Marketing Research) and psychology journals (e.g., Psychological Science, JPSP) See: http://www.colorado.edu/business/academic-programs/undergraduate-programs/marketing/faculty-marketing If you have a good research background please look at our program (and the papers our faculty are publishing). Admission to our program at the Leeds School of Business is not as competitive as psychology programs (though it is not easy to get in) and the funding is highly desirable (typically five years at $25k per year). Moreover, marketing faculty jobs are relatively plentiful. We place students into jobs without the need for a post doc, for example. Salaries and teaching loads at business schools are also attractive for most of our program’s graduates. Our program has placed students at top research universities, such as Indiana University, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, University of Arizona, and Vanderbilt. Notably, we have a 100% placement record for our PhDs. You can learn more about our program here: http://www.colorado.edu/business/academic-programs/phd-program/areas-study/phd-marketing For further information please reach out here: Peter McGraw ([email protected]) Associate Professor of Marketing and Psychology University of Colorado Boulder The Graduate Program in Psychology at Georgetown University (http://psychology.georgetown.edu/graduate) offers a five-year, full-time program of study in developmental science leading to a Ph.D. in Psychology. Located in close proximity to the White House, Congress, the National Institutes of Health, the National Academies, and many of the world’s most prestigious research and nonprofit organizations, the Department of Psychology provides a unique graduate education that bridges academic study and practice in both public policy and health/medicine. Our two graduate student concentrations take full advantage of these resources. Students concentrate in either Human Development and Public Policy or Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience. A dual degree in Psychology (Ph.D.) and Master of Public Policy (M.P.P.) is also offered in collaboration with the McCourt School of Public Policy (MSPP, http://psychology.georgetown.edu/graduate). Both concentrations offer strengths that include an interdisciplinary education in the processes and contexts of development across the lifespan. Program requirements are explicitly designed to offer students rigorous training in the range of theories and methods that characterize the developmental sciences and enable them to place the study of development into the broader contexts - biological, familial, social, cultural, economic, historical, political - from which the field draws its societal applications. A complete statement of the program's learning goals can be found in the Department’s Graduate Handbook (http://psychology.georgetown.edu/graduate/handbook) University resources afforded graduate students include the McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown Law Center and Georgetown School of Foreign Service, each of which is among the leading programs in the nation. The Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (http://neuroscience.georgetown.edu/) at the Georgetown School of Medicine offers resources for cognitive neuroscience studies, including neuroimaging facilities and colloquia. The deadline for admission in Fall 2017 is December 1, 2016.
