STUDENTS ADMISSIONS AND RESEARCH TRAINING CORE
Coordinator: Peter Lang, PhD
Student Admissions
UF Students participating in research at the Center are generally registered either in the Department of Clinical & Health Psychology (CHP) in the School of Public Health and Health Professionals, or in the Department of Psychology, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and pursue the curriculum, course-work, and evaluations of their Department.
Prospective UF students for 2020 seeking clinical training and a research emphasis on the study of anxiety, mood, and trauma disorders should contact Dr. Peter J. Lang, a mentor of the CHP faculty. Prospective students planning to focus on basic research in psychology should contact Dr. Andreas Keil, a student mentor on the Department of Psychology faculty.
All new students are expected to have a strong STEM background and prior experience in research data analysis.
The Center includes two special training initiatives, at different levels of research apprentice development:
Post-Doctoral
The Center has an advanced training program to mentor post-doctoral
students and junior faculty. The development of a young investigator's
own programmatic research in emphasized. The intention is that after
this experience, participants leave the Center as fully functioning
independent scientists.
Post-Baccalaureate
A special 2 year program of post-baccalaureate
study: This program is intended for students who have completed an
undergraduate degree in psychology or basic science, who plan to apply
for graduate training in psychology, and who wish to focus their
intellectual goals and gain preparatory experience in laboratory
research. Students work full-time and receive monetary compensation,
but are counseled and instructed as graduate students, participating in
the execution of experiments and data analysis, learning
psychophysiological recording, computer and other technical skills and
participating in and presenting their work at weekly laboratory
meetings.
