Are you interested in getting a PhD focusing on the cognitive neuroscience of stress? If so, please apply to SLU's experimental psychology doctoral program. See below for details:
The Experimental Psychology Ph.D. program at Saint Louis University offers concentrations in Cognitive Neuroscience, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology, with students receiving instruction in each of these areas, as well as more in-depth instruction in the chosen field of concentration. Students also have the option of completing a secondary concentration in Quantitative Methods in the Behavioral Sciences and/or to receive special training in university-level teaching. Each concentration within the Experimental Psychology Program integrates theory and research through rigorous coursework, research activities, and professional experiences, preparing its graduates to teach and conduct research in academic and other research settings.
Our faculty’s research interests cover a diverse range of topics and research methodology. The Cognitive Neuroscience faculty focus on research involving the neuroscience of stress, neurodevelopment and pathology, affective neuroscience, memory, learning, and cognitive aging. The Developmental Psychology faculty focus on research involving social aspects of child and adolescent development (e.g., parent-child interaction, gender cognitions, stereotyping and prejudice, identity, emotion understanding, and socio-moral reasoning). The Social Psychology faculty focus on research involving interpersonal relationships, attitudes, intergroup relations, health psychology, social justice, social identity, and prejudice.
We work under a mentorship model, which means that students work closely with at least one primary research mentor.
