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

Genome-wide association studies using microarrays and whole genome sequencing to understand the nature of psychopathology and addiction.

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.

Genes for Good. An online genetic study of health and behavior. Join the study, visit our Facebook community page or follow us on Twitter @genesforgood.

GWAS & Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use

The GWAS & Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use (GSCAN) is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota and Penn State University, along with 100s of scientists and studies from across the globe.

CoTwins

The Colorado Online Twin Study (CoTwins) is a longitudinal study of adolescent twins using web-based and mobile tech assessment methods.

Developmental Consortium

The "Developmental Consortium" (DevCon) is a budding longitudinal genetic association consortium effort.

Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research

The Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research houses our administrative structure, and includes a decades-long longitudinal study of ~2500 nuclear families, including 1,850 families with twins and 650 families with adoptees.

Consortium Contributions

We have contributed to a variety of large GWAS consortia.

-[[PSYC 3112: Behavioral Genetics II]]. This course covers many concepts in behavioral genetics using an example-drive approach. 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. It's an exciting time to be a behavioral geneticist!

-[http://www.matthewckeller.com/html/honors_stats.html PSYC 3101H- Honors Statistics in Psychological Research]. Statistics and the research process are best learned by doing it, so the course is organized to give students lots of experience doing statistics and research. Part I of the course, approximately the first half of the semester, covers basic concepts and statistical techniques. Students master the techniques by using them in laboratory exercises and homework problems. There is a Mastery Exam at the end of Part I. Part II provides students with experience in all phases of the research process and it will allows students the opportunity to follow their own topical interests.

A good knowledge of the general linear model is assumed.
+== Odds and Ends ==
-PSYC 5541 - Modern Methods in Statistical Genetics. The goal of this class is to introduce graduate students to modern methods in statistical genetics that use genome-wide data, to understand how results coming from these methods should be interpreted, and to gain insight into the conditions that must be met for proper conclusions to be drawn.
