academic and research excellence; the transformative opportunity it
provides to a large and diverse student body; its public mission
and commitment to equity and social justice; and its roots in the
California experience, animated by such values as innovation,
questioning the status quo, and respect for the environment and
nature. Since its founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual
renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and
social value in California, the United States and the world.We are

growing trend across the nation, Berkeley's Department of
Psychology was established as a separate unit, emerging from the
Department of Philosophy. For nearly a century, the department has
been a national and international leader in psychological research
and the superior educational programs that we have provided to
undergraduates and doctoral students.The Psychology Department
moved to Tolman Hall in 1963 when it was a new state-of-the-art
building. This building served us well for over 50 years, but alas,
the nature of our work has changed and our beloved Tolman Hall was
no longer quite as state-of-the-art. In June 2018, we moved to a
new building at the corner of Berkeley Way and Shattuck. We look
forward to another 50 years of continuing our cutting-edge
research, excellent clinical services, and renowned teaching and
advising of undergraduate and PhD students.Today, our award-winning
faculty conduct ground-breaking research in many areas of
psychology, including behavioral and systems neuroscience, clinical
science, cognition, cognitive neuroscience, development, social,
and personality. Our PhD students go on to exciting careers in
academia (e.g. Yale, Stanford, UCLA), industry (e.g., Facebook,
Google), healthcare (e.g., Oakland Children's Hospital, Seattle VA)
and policy (e.g., National Institute of Justice).Position
