In USC's Department of Psychology, faculty and students are engaged in groundbreaking studies, both investigating basic theoretical questions and bringing their work to bear on some of society's most pressing needs. The department offers graduate training in five areas: Brain & Cognitive Science, Clinical Science, Developmental Psychology, Quantitative Methods, and Social Psychology. The department has state-of-the-art research facilities, including the Dana & David Dornsife Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging Center located in an adjacent building. A shared, communal social behavior laboratory of testing rooms and equipment is available for use by all faculty and students who are doing behavioral research. The clinical science program offers clinical services to the community through the on-campus Psychology Services Center.
We are pleased to announce that two of our doctoral students have recently been awarded fellowships to support their research. Aubrey Rodriguez received a Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA award (F31) for her project titled: "Parental Military Deployment and Adolescent Mental/Behavioral Health". Bruna Martin received an NSF graduate fellowship for her project titled: Neural Mechanisms of Emotion Regulation in Older Adults. Congratulations!
