Post-Doctoral Fellows

Individuals who are completing or have recently completed a PhD, PsyD or equivalent degree in psychology or related fields (e.g., public health, social work, nursing, psychiatry) may apply to work under the guidance of Dr. Nagy to complete a post-doctoral fellowship in the EQUITY Research Group within the Department of Psychology at UWM. Post-doctoral fellows can expect to receive advanced and specialized training in a range of areas including, but not limited to: 

  • Developing an independent line of research
  • Grantsmanship 
  • Execution of funded projects (e.g., budgeting, completing progress reports, study monitoring, etc)
  • Professional development mentorship to be competitive for academic positions
  • Lab organization, leadership, and management
  • Mentorship of less-advanced team members (e.g., undergraduate/volunteer research interns, graduate students)
  • Fostering partnerships with community and academic partners

Fellows will receive mentorship and guidance from Dr. Nagy to lead their own individual projects to be competitive for academic positions. In addition, fellows will partner with Dr. Nagy to provide oversight and mentorship to other lab projects. In this capacity, fellows will support team members at earlier stages of training (e.g., graduate students, undergraduate students).
