[Emily Chau]

The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
was established in 1984 to encourage outstanding women and minority Ph.D.
recipients to pursue academic careers at the University of California. The
current program offers postdoctoral research fellowships, professional
development and faculty mentoring to outstanding scholars in all fields
whose research, teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and
equal opportunity at UC.

If interested in developmental psychology, UC Berkeley’s faculty members in
the area investigate numerous areas of development, plasticity, and change
including sensory processes, cognitive capacities, language, reasoning,
everyday knowledge of the world, emotions, and social relationships. They
also examine both typical and atypical development, each providing rich
insights for better understanding the other and suggesting new approaches
for effective treatments and preventive interventions.

Prospective applicants should contact faculty members they’re interested in
working with. Please see the UC Berkeley developmental labs website
<https://www.devlabs.berkeley.edu/> to learn more about the research going
on in the area.

Generally, applicants may apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship at one or

application and research proposal will be evaluated through independent
reviews at each institution.
