Does anyone know of have experience with PhD or PsyD programs with a specialty for schizophrenia. This is a field i am very interested in and i have done some research for it in the past. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Thanks
Yes, mostly in medical schools though.
Although I was an RA as an undergrad in lab that got people drunk and then measured agressive responses. Well...they got up to 0.9 anyway.
Yeah, alcohol research seems to occur at least somewhat commonly in psych departments (assuming you have the lab space to "house" participants until they sober up). Agreed that for most other substances, it's usually in the context of a medical school.
My area of interest too! I only applied to work with people doing schizophrenia research (three years in a row, sigh...) Finally got in this year. These are the programs that have a schizophrenia researcher that I can remember off the top of my head (all clinical PhD programs):
University of Miami
Louisiana State University
Kent State University
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
University of North Carolina Greensboro
University of Maryland
Washington University in St. Louis
Northwestern University (Feinberg)
Temple University
Emory University
Hofstra University
SUNY Binghamton
University of Illinois Chicago
Illinois Institute of Technology
University of Minnesota
University of Wisconsin Madison
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Wow thanks for everything guys, i was able to get a list of professors i can contact next school year and start working on. Im about to start my third year of undergrad, when is a good time to start contacting future professors for grad school
Not exactly schizophrenia research - his research is on schizotypy and almost all of it is done on undergrads. Very interesting stuff, but it's questionable how generalizable it is to the world of schizophrenia research.UNC-Greensboro is very balanced (I interviewed there) and they have a professor who is pretty well known in schizophrenia research.

Yup, LSU and UIC were both on my list above. Ellen Herbener is the only one in the psych department that does schizophrenia. There were a few in the psychiatry department but they all jumped ship a few years ago.This reminded me of Alex Cohen at LSU that studies SZ and schizotypy.
To the OP, before emailing professors I'd suggest narrowing down as to what in SZ you are interested in. Schizophrenia is a disorder with a number of different deficits - cognitive (lots of areas disrupted), affective, delusions/hallucinations etc.
Edit - I don't think Univeristy of Illinois Chicago has been mentioned but they have Ellen Herbner and I think a couple of other people who study SZ.
