Our department offers outstanding opportunities for developing a research program, highly ranked doctoral programs, a vibrant undergraduate major, and a collaborative environment. The department has Ph.D. programs in Clinical, Developmental and Social-Personality Psychology. There is excellent collaboration among faculty across areas, and close ties to other groups at the University, particularly in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Education, Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Pediatrics. The city of Rochester, NY is a diverse, energetic, and family-friendly community located on Lake Ontario adjacent to the Finger Lakes region with a metropolitan population of 1+ million. Rochester also boasts a thriving arts and music culture, substantial employment opportunities in various sectors, affordable housing, a rich history of social justice, and easy access to urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods.
