Welcome!

Hello, we are a research group in the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota.

If you would like to contribute, log-in or request an account. We recommend using your e-mail address or Minnesota uniqname as your user id. For basic instructions, see the Wikipedia Tutorial.

We're hiring!

We're currently accepting applications for talented postdoctoral fellows. The Please contact Scott if you're interested. Our current postdoctoral advertisement can be found here.

Interested graduate students who would like to pursue a research-intensive PhD in Clinical Psychology can apply to work with Scott through the Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology Research program in the Psychology Department. Scott also accepts students through the Personality, Behavior Genetics, and Individual Differences program (PIB).

With Monica Luciana, Scott directs a T32 training program "Training in Genetic and Neurobehavioral Mechanisms of Addiction". The program supports predoc and postdoc trainees. Click the link for more information.

Research

Our research is largely in clinical psychology and behavior genetics, and includes

  • Twin/Adoption studies through the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research. We ask developmental questions about the emergence and course of mental illness and substance use and dependence.
  • Development of new assessments using wireless sensors such as those in your smartphone. Measures of environmental influence in psychological studies are often limited and bespoke. Smartphones might provide standardized ways to measure aspects of the environment in which we live.
