Dr. Jaffee will be recruiting PhD students for the 2025/2026 academic year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the online information about the Psychology graduate program at Penn, a core component of which is deep involvement in research.

Dr. Jaffee encourages applications from students who are strongly interested in the following:

  • Learning and applying advanced quantitative methods
  • Understanding causal associations between adverse early experiences and biobehavioral development
  • Policy-relevant research questions
