Department of Psychology

You are here, overview of the program.

These are remarkable times for psychology. Scientific breakthroughs concerning the biological, emotional, cognitive, and social basis of normal and abnormal behavior are reported in the media almost daily. The faculty associated with the Department of Psychology at Yale University represents the cutting edge of research and scholarship in this broad and exciting field.

The primary goal of graduate education in psychology at Yale University is the training of researchers, for academic and applied settings, who will broaden and deepen the knowledge base on which the science of psychology rests. The graduate program in the Department of Psychology annually enrolls about 15 new Ph.D. students. When applying to the Department, each potential graduate student indicates one of five areas of concentration, and usually has a “home” in a particular lab, but it is also possible to collaborate with faculty and students in other labs and participate in programs that cut across these traditional areas (e.g., cognitive, affective and social neuroscience; health sciences).

Our Department has an illustrious history, but, more important, continues to reinvigorate itself by recruiting the most outstanding scholars we can identify in clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, and social-personality psychology, with special efforts to attract those whose interests bridge these areas. These scholars include faculty, research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates in Psychology and other programs (e.g., the School of Management, Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program).

A primary objective of our graduate program is to encourage research that follows from an understanding of the substantive and methodological bases of scientific psychology as well as from other social and biological sciences. We encourage students to appreciate the multiple historical and theoretical contexts from which the field has emerged, and to create an environment that facilitates student and faculty interest and participation in research activities. Moreover, many members of the faculty are committed to exploring the impact of their work on individual, community, and societal problems. Consequently, faculty and student interests and research often bridge basic science to issues of public policy, providing opportunities for students to develop broad areas of expertise.

We are deeply committed to graduate education and are eager to work closely with students to help them take advantage of the rich offerings of our Department and University in ways that suit their interests and talents. Our department is a thriving and diverse intellectual community that is committed to a culture of inclusiveness. The relatively small size of our graduate program and the large number of primary and affiliated faculty ensure that each student receives extensive attention in following an individualized curriculum. Over the years, we have cultivated a supportive environment that provides rigorous training. Our program is an active, exciting, flexible, and challenging setting in which qualified students who share our interests thrive. We welcome your application.

Student and Alumni Spotlights

Stewarding Forests in the Face of Climate Change 

Forests help mitigate climate change because of their ability to remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but they become carbon emitters during wildfires. PhD student Reid Lewis '20 MF is researching how satellite data and machine learning models can help fire-prone forests become more resilient.

“When we make these forests more fire resilient, we can not only store more carbon, we can also help protect human communities, foster wildlife habitat, safeguard watersheds, and can use the process of restoration to partner with and empower Indigenous nations,” says Lewis.

Tracking Big Cats in the Sierra Madres Mountains

Siria Gámez tracks big cats — all the way up 80-foot trees.  A doctoral student in YSE's Applied Wildlife Ecology lab, Gámez had special training to set up camera traps in the tree canopy of the El Triunfo Biosphere to examine how jaguars, pumas, and other carnivores use vertical spaces in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountains in Mexico.

“This particular region of Mexico is quite understudied,” says Gámez. “We’re exploring how these animals survive in this three-dimensional forest structure.”

• Doctor of Philosophy — PhD Program

Investing in Urban Forests

As the state of Connecticut’s urban forester, Danica Doroski ’21 PhD is working with municipalities, nonprofits, and residents to grow and maintain urban forests. 

“Investments in urban tree cover is a vital environmental justice issue,” Doroski says. “Urban areas with fewer trees can be as much as 20 degrees hotter than surrounding rural areas. By increasing tree cover, we can keep our cities cooler, which translates to both health and energy benefits.”

• Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

Redefining Human-Wildlife Conflict

In the Tibetan Plateau, Yufang Gao ’14 MESc, ’23 PhD interviews, observes, and travels with Tibetan herders and Buddhist monks. He sets up camera traps and collects scat to analyze the diet of snow leopards. And he has hiked a mountainside 15,000 feet above sea level — all in pursuit of data for his dissertation focused on the quest for harmonious coexistence between people and large carnivores. What is needed for human-wildlife coexistence is a different perspective about conflict, Gao says. “Conflict,” he has found, “is part of coexistence.”

• Master of Environmental Science - MESc

Tracking Environmental and Infrastructure Damage in Ukraine

As co-leader of Black Marble, NASA’s light dataset, Eleanor Stokes '18 PhD is currently tracking the effects of Russian military strikes on Ukraine’s infrastructure and climate-induced natural disasters across the world. NASA’s Black Marble science team, which uses data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite aboard NASA’s Suomi NPP satellite spacecraft  to map  disaster impacts in vulnerable communities , was awarded the 2020 NASA Group Achievement Award for helping realize the vision of the  NASA-ESA-JAXA COVID dashboard  and enabling international partnership in a time of need.  “Humanity is facing major global risks from extreme weather and rising sea levels,” Stokes says. “It’s very important to have a satellite record that can speak to the human piece of the puzzle.

Tracking Forest Inventory

Richard Guldin ’76 MFS, ’79 PhD  has helped reinvent the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program by integrating new sampling designs, field procedures, and innovative software to create an annual inventory that has become a global model. His work earned him the Society of American Foresters’ Sir William Schlich Award.

Department of Political Science

Graduate Program

Yale’s Ph.D. program has a strong historical record of producing leading scholars in the field of Political Science. (Please note: The department does not offer a stand-alone MA in Political Science. Information about the Jackson Institute MPP in Global Affairs .) Many Yale graduates have also had successful careers in government, politics, non-profit organizations, and the private sector. This historical strength is matched by a strong faculty deeply engaged in training current graduate students to succeed in contemporary Political Science.

One of the Department’s strengths is substantive and methodological pluralism—there is no single “Yale way,” and our students and faculty are motivated by a range of questions in and across the subfields of Political Science. At the same time as we acknowledge this diversity of interests, the Department’s curriculum is designed to ensure students have adequate opportunities to master the core tools of contemporary social science research, including a four-course sequence in quantitative methodology and research design (statistics), a two course sequence in formal theory, courses on experimental design, implementation, and analysis, and a training program in qualitative and archival methodology.

The Department also offers training in five substantive subfields: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Economy, and Political Theory. In each of these subfields, faculty regularly teach courses that expose students to both the foundational work in these areas and current active research topics. In many subfields, this training takes the form of formal or informal “sequences,” for example Comparative Politics I and II are taught each year. These classes are supplemented by topical seminars on selected and advanced topics.

In addition to regular courses, the Department and affiliated institutions (in particular, the MacMillan Center and the Institution for Social and Policy Studies) host a variety of (near-)weekly workshops in which outside speakers and Yale affiliates present and discuss work. These workshops provide a unique opportunity for students to observe the work of leading scholars, as well as to develop their own research in conjunction with faculty and student review. Information about these workshops is available here.

Students will also take two courses as a cohort. The first, Introduction to Politics, is for all Ph.D. students in their first semester. The second, Research and Writing, spans the second year and is centered on students producing a publishable quality research paper prior to embarking on the dissertation. Students in Research and Writing present their final paper in the Department’s mini-APSA conference in April.

About eighteen students enter the Ph.D. program each year. The total number of students in residence at any one time, including students working on their dissertations, is approximately 100, of whom about 40 are taking courses.

The Director of Graduate Studies for the Political Science Department is Hélène Landemore . Professor Landemore’s DGS office is located in Room 234  in Rosenkranz Hall, 115 Prospect Street. To contact Professor Landemore or sign up for DGS office hours, email her at dgs.polisci@yale.edu .

The Graduate program registrar is Colleen Amaro.  Her office is located in Room 230 in Rosenkranz Hall, 115 Prospect Street. She can be contacted by email at colleen.amaro@yale.edu .

Ph.D. Program

The ph.d. in law degree.

The Ph.D. in Law degree program is designed to prepare J.D. graduates for careers as legal scholars and teachers through a doctoral program aimed at the production of a substantial body of academic research and writing under the close supervision of a three-member faculty dissertation committee. Unlike programs designed for students who wish to learn about law from the disciplinary perspectives of the social sciences or the humanities, the Ph.D. in Law is directed at students who wish to pursue advanced studies in law from the perspective of the law. This program offers emerging scholars an opportunity to contribute to the development of law as an academic field, and it provides an alternate pathway into law teaching alongside existing routes such as fellowships, advanced degrees in cognate fields, legal practice, and clerkships.

Because our entering Ph.D. students will have already completed their J.D. degrees, the anticipated course of study toward the Ph.D. in Law degree is three academic years and two summers in residence. In their first two semesters, Ph.D. students will enroll in courses designed to help them acquire the background and research skills needed to complete a dissertation in their field of interest and to prepare them for qualifying examinations that test the depth and breadth of the literacies and skills they have acquired. During their second year, students will prepare a dissertation prospectus and begin work on a dissertation. The dissertation may take the form of either three law review articles or a book-length manuscript and will make up a portfolio of writing that will be essential for success in the job market. Ph.D. students will also gain experience in the classroom, and receive the full support of Yale Law School’s Law Teaching Program , which has had remarkable success in placing graduates in tenure-track positions at leading law schools.

Ph.D. students receive a full-tuition waiver, a health award for health insurance coverage, and a stipend to cover their year-round living expenses, as well as support for participation in national and international conferences.

Applications for admission to the Ph.D. in Law program are available starting on August 15. The deadline for submission of all materials is December 15. Applicants to the Ph.D. in Law program must complete a J.D. degree at a U.S. law school before they matriculate and begin the Ph.D. program. Any questions about the program may be directed to Gordon Silverstein, Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs, at [email protected] .

PhD Students Nghiem Huynh and Jillian Stallman Named Prize Teaching Fellows

The Department is proud to announce that the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) has named two economics PhD students Prize Teaching Fellows for the 2023-2024 academic year: Nghiem Huynh and Jillian Stallman .

The award, which recognizes outstanding talent in teaching, is one of the highest honors that a graduate student can attain at Yale.

Nghiem and Jillian are part of a group of ten PhD students that GSAS named Fellows for the 2023-2024 academic year. Recipients are nominated by their undergraduate students and the faculty members they assist while serving as Teaching Fellows.

In their nominations, students said the following of Nghiem and Jillian:

• Nghiem teaches with passion and it is clear that he cares deeply about what he is teaching. His excellence in skill and passion for the subject makes his sections fly by. I strongly believe Nghiem deserves recognition for his teaching.
• Jillian has been hands down the best teaching assistant I ever had. She cared so much about us and was so dedicated to making sure we all were learning and had a strong understanding of the material.

"Doctoral education is more than just a journey from knowledge acquisition to knowledge creation," said Lynn Cooley, Dean of the Graduate School. "It is fundamentally about equipping scholars with the ability to share their insights broadly—to impact society positively through education. Reviewing the nominations, I am profoundly impressed by the innovative and engaging ways in which our teaching fellows have made complex ideas accessible and exciting to their students."

Read the full announcement here , and scroll down to hear from Nghiem and Jillian, as well as the students who nominated them, about the award.

Nghiem Huynh

Nghiem was awarded a Prize Teaching Fellowship for teaching ECON 116, Introductory Macroeconomics in Spring 2024 based on student nominations and a letter of support from the supervising instructor.

I am incredibly honored and grateful to receive this prize, particularly because it is based on nominations from my students. I take a great deal of inspiration from them. Seeing them in class, eager to learn despite many challenges, empowers me to work alongside them in understanding the material and finding joy in the process. I am also thankful for the mentorship of my supervisors, Professor Fabrizio Zilibotti and Dr. William Hawkins, who have helped me develop my teaching skills this semester. Finally, I am grateful for my PhD advisors, Sam Kortum, Mark Rosenzweig, and Lorenzo Caliendo, who are exceptional teachers and mentors, inspiring me to learn and teach economics effectively.

— Nghiem Huynh

In their nominations, Nghiem’s students mentioned:

• Nghiem is a fantastic section leader. He breaks down the lecture information into chunks that are easy for students to understand, and his sections have taught me how to approach macroeconomics in an analytical way. Nghiem also teaches with passion and it is clear that he cares deeply about what he is teaching. His excellence in skill and passion for the subject makes his sections fly by. I strongly believe Nghiem deserves recognition for his teaching and contribution to Yale Economics teaching.
• Nghiem is my section leader, and he’s exellent. It’s clear that he’s passionate about economics, and it comes through during section. His explanations clarify concepts that I have difficulty grasping during lecture, and when I don’t understand something, Nghiem always offers two or three other ways of seeing why an answer is correct. He always emphasizes why an answer is correct, not just how to get it.

Jillian Stallman

Jillian was awarded a Prize Teaching Fellowship for teaching ECON 412, International Environmental Economics in Fall 2023 based on student nominations and a letter of support from the supervising instructor.

I'm deeply touched that my students thought highly of me enough to nominate me for a teaching prize. I didn't know that a prize like this even existed and I think it's lovely that Yale has a place to recognize the relationships we build with our students. We were fortunate to have this delightful, thoughtful group of students, and having a smaller class (around 30) makes a big difference in how personal our interactions can get. Sam Kortum, who I have been deeply grateful to get to interact with and learn from as the main instructor, structured this class in a neat way that set the foundation for a healthy but challenging learning environment. For starters, it was a combination of international and environmental economics, and the conversations we had in class were thoughtful, deep-dive takes on topical subjects. We began the semester with a number of challenging problem sets where the students did need to come to me for help, so we all got to know each other. The students then turned their focus more towards a research project in the latter half, but had milestones throughout the semester where they got regular feedback. This let the students get exposure to the research process, and also opened up the possibilities for them to interact with us in a way that had everyone learning, ultimately resulting in these nifty final projects.

— Jillian Stallman

In their nominations, Jillian’s students mentioned:

• Jillian is the very best. I had never before had a TA who was as effective a teacher and as willing to help as Jill. Her enthusiasm for and her grasp on the subject reminded me of why I wanted to study economics in the first place. She will be one of the teachers that I remember for a very long time.
• Jillian is an incredible TA, and I don’t know how I would have gotten through the course without her (and I know I’m not the only one). She is so insanely engaged, so smart, so clear, so sweet, responsive, such a hard worker – everything. So grateful to have had her this semester.

Why I’m Skipping My 50th Reunion at Yale

I graduated from Yale University in 1974. As a first-generation American, the child of Holocaust survivors, and among the first women admitted to this incredible school, it is hard to adequately express how grateful I was for this opportunity. I have enjoyed returning to campus frequently over the years, including watching two of my own children graduate from Yale. 

Yet, as my 50 th  class reunion approaches, it is hard to summon the pride and devotion I once felt. Indeed, the university, along with other similar institutions, has lost its way to such a degree that I cannot in good conscience attend what should have been a joyful occasion.

Many embarrassing episodes have unfolded at Yale in recent years, such as students throwing tantrums about Halloween costumes or law students demonstrating their oratory skill by screaming and shouting down a visiting conservative lawyer. Like many others, these events would cause me to shake my head, but they didn’t fundamentally change my feelings of pride in being an alumnus.

I no longer feel such pride in the wake of pro-Hamas mobs occupying parts of campus and Jewish students being bullied, chased, and, in one case, stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag. As the daughter of the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to the U.S. Congress – but also simply as an American citizen – I feel profound disappointment at the culture that has been nurtured, normalized, and coddled at a venerable institution that should know better.

Sadly, this culture is not unique at Yale. In one sense, the fault lies with the hundreds of openly and viciously antisemitic students and professors who inhabit elite universities across the country. This is not, as some now like to say, “anti-Zionism.” Anti-Zionism, including calls for the destruction of the Jewish homeland and the never-ending demonization, de-legitimization, and application of double standards to Israel, is just the latest and more palatable strain of antisemitism.   

But in another sense, the students and professors screaming about resistance and glorifying the attacks of Oct. 7 are not solely to blame; administrations at these schools bear profound responsibility. Yale leadership has shown enormous concern and solicitude for any number of minority or marginalized communities on campus and has maintained a zero-tolerance approach vis-à-vis any hatred or discrimination against them. No such visible vigilance has existed when it comes to defending the Jewish students on campus.

Though FIRE ranks Yale near the bottom of the list in terms of its free-speech climate, attacks directed at Israel somehow turn administrators into free-speech absolutists. No matter how hateful, how filled with incitement, how explicit the calls for genocide against Israeli Jews might be, Yale proves extremely mindful of the right to spew such hatred without any meaningful consequences. 

Of course, one can find carefully worded statements from school leadership that manage to obscure the wrongs more than illuminate them. They often feel like AI-generated text, created in response to a prompt that asks for a statement that won’t offend the offenders. But where are the ringing and unequivocal denunciations of those who celebrate the genocidal rapists and murderers of Hamas? Where is the footage of President Salovey walking in solidarity with Jewish students as they confront the haters who have overwhelmed the campus? 

My late father, Congressman Tom Lantos, saw first-hand what happened to the Jewish people during the Holocaust when they were left to the mercy of others. Today, I see echoes of this evil as university leaders and administrators stand by while outrageous libels and threats are leveled not only at the Jewish homeland and its defenders but also at anyone who happens to be Jewish.

For decades, I have looked forward to the singular milestone of my 50 th  college reunion. As things stand now, I cannot celebrate my beloved alma mater until it once again finds its moral compass and its voice in defense of our most precious civilizational values. This will, somewhat ironically, require university leaders to spurn the modern impulse to silence opposing views while also rejecting the false notion that the violent glorification of terror committed against Jews is “simply free speech.”

To my fellow alumni who share my alarm, I urge you to join me in refusing to support a cherished institution that has lost its way. Skip the reunion; choose not to give financially; urge your child or grandchild to look elsewhere as they apply to university. The students who occupied campus would have you believe that the only way to make your point is through violence and chaos. In fact, there are still peaceful, civil ways to express even the strongest views. I hope many of us will choose to do so at this critical moment in Yale’s history.

Dr. Katrina Lantos is former chair of the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) and president of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice.

• myYSPH Members

The mentorship and support I’ve received through the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) as a predoctoral fellow has been invaluable and was a big factor in my decision to attend YSPH.

PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences

The Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Department aims to understand and improve health equity, both domestically and globally. SBS provides instruction in the theory and methods of the social and behavioral sciences that emphasize individual, interpersonal, community, and structural influences on health, illness, and recovery. The primary emphases are focused on (1) understanding the psychosocial, behavioral, community, and societal influences on health in the general population, with a focus on those who are disadvantaged; and (2) creating multilevel interventions that eliminate barriers to health, from infancy to old age. The SBS curriculum takes an interdisciplinary approach and focuses on integrating methods from epidemiology and the social sciences, training scientists with a broad skill set that allows them to answer a host of complex research questions. The department has numerous research strengths including in HIV/AIDS, aging health, community engaged health research, maternal child health, mental health, health equity and disparities, and stigma prevention and health.

This program does not require General GRE test scores.

Four Graduating Students Receive Dean’s Mission & Impact Award

The students were recognized for their contributions to the Yale SOM and New Haven communities.

Four members of the Class of 2024 have been selected as recipients of the Dean’s Mission & Impact Award, Dean Kerwin K. Charles announced this week. The Mission & Impact Award has been presented annually since 2021 to students who during their time at Yale SOM have embodied the school’s mission to educate leaders for business and society through their contributions to the community.

“Selecting the honorees for the Mission & Impact Award has given me a welcome opportunity to reflect on the many ways in which members of the Class of 2024 have made a difference at Yale SOM, in New Haven, and in our society at large,” Charles said. “I am confident, that like generations of SOM alumni, they will continue to serve as leaders who consider the impact of their decisions on their communities.”

The 2024 recipients of the Dean’s Mission & Impact Award are:

• Joseph Raff ’24, a graduate of the full-time MBA program, who advocated for changes to compensation for student teaching assistants. “His thoughtful leadership among students and continual dialog with school leadership regarding this important structural change with deep and broad implications for the university and the school deeply impressed many members of the SOM community,” Charles wrote in an email to the community.
• Nicola Divan ’24 , a graduate of the Master of Advanced Management program, who represented his classmates as the MAM Student Government representative. Divan, Charles wrote, “has helped ensure the incorporation into the full life and breadth of the school of all our different degree programs, nationalities, and backgrounds—especially for his fellow MAMs.”
• Leigh Bushnell ’24 and Alice Mao ’24, both graduates of the full-time MBA program, and the organizers of the Young Women’s Leadership Launch , which brings young women from New Haven to the Yale campus for a day-long conference giving them leadership skills and introducing them to professional career paths. “Student involvement with New Haven is of the utmost importance to me, and I am delighted by their efforts to lead the way for themselves and others for such engagement,” Charles wrote.

In recognition of the recipients, the school will make contributions to impactful local organizations of their choice.

Features of the macrostructure and microstructure of uranium dioxide powders are considered. Assumptions are made on the mechanisms of the behavior of powders of various natures during pelletizing. Experimental data that reflect the effect of these powders on the quality of fuel pellets, which is evaluated by modern procedures, are presented. To investigate the structure of the powders, modern methods of electron microscopy, helium pycnometry, etc., are used. The presented results indicate the disadvantages of wet methods for obtaining the starting UO 2 powders by the ammonium diuranate (ADU) flow sheet because strong agglomerates and conglomerates, which complicate the process of pelletizing, are formed. The main directions of investigation that can lead to understanding the regularities of formation of the structure of starting UO 2 powders, which will allow one to control the process of their fabrication and stabilize the properties of powders and pellets, are emphasized.
