Welcome to the Vrieze Lab Wiki!

Welcome!
Hello, we are a research group in the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota. Our research is largely behavioral genetic, and includes
- Genome-wide association studies using microarrays and whole genome sequencing.
- Twin/Adoption studies
- Development of new assessments using wireless sensors such as those in your smartphone.
Here's a 2017 group picture (see older lab photos here), in which Robbee and David were kind enough to join us. Top Row: Seon-Kyeong Jang, David Brazel, Eric Thibodeau, Gargi Datta, Robbee Wedow. Bottom Row: Zhen Liu, Hannah Young, Stephanie Zellers, Scott Vrieze.

University of Minnesota
PSY 8612: Personality Measurement
University of Colorado Boulder
PSYC 3102: Behavioral Genetics. This course covers introductory material and concepts in behavioral and psychiatric genetics. We cover the history of BG, Mendelian diseases to illustrate basic gene/environment concepts, twin and adoption studies, and recent molecular approaches including whole genome sequencing and genome wide association analyses.
PSYC 3112: Behavioral Genetics II. This course covers more advanced concepts in behavioral genetics, including recent molecular approaches including whole genome sequencing and genome wide association analyses.
PSYC 7102: Statistical Genetics
PSYC 7693: Personality Measurement. Core PhD-level clinical psychology course designed to teach basic measurement and decision theory, as well as application of psychological tests like the MMPI-2 and structured interviews like the SCID5.
We're hiring postdocs and taking grad students!
We're currently accepting applications for talented postdoctoral fellows. The Please contact Scott if you're interested.
We're hiring!
We're always hiring great postdocs and taking good graduate student applicants. Please contact Scott if you are interested.
Prospective graduate students
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.
Odds and Ends
Scott is part of the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research, which houses multiple longitudinal genetically informative studies, including twins and adoptees.
Great stuff from Paul Meehl
