Open Rank Industrial Organizational Faculty
About The Department
The Department of Psychology, housed within the College of Science at Virginia Tech, is a Carnegie Foundation R1 doctoral institution, and faculty members of the Department of Psychology are highly active scholars across a range of research areas (i.e., Industrial-Organizational, Clinical, and Cognitive Neuroscience and Behavior, Developmental), who work to increase understanding of psychological processes involved in human behavior. While faculty members in Psychology share a common interest in psychological processes, our specific interests, research methods, and expertise are diverse and include both behavioral and neuroscience approaches with experimental, survey, and big data methodologies. Some researchers are committed to increasing understanding of basic psychological processes, while others emphasize implications for developmental, organizational, and clinical issues. The Psychology Department offers a supportive environment, including a mentoring program for its junior faculty.
