for prospective grad students

The PASO Lab is a good fit for prospective graduate students interested in studying risk and vulnerability factors in the etiology, comorbidity, and maintenance of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. The lab’s recent work has focused on cognitive, emotional, and social risk factors for symptom development, including studies examining transdiagnostic vulnerability factors such as intolerance of uncertainty and distress tolerance. We’re also a very friendly and collaborative team, and are always excited to dream up new studies together! If you have any questions about applying to work with Dr. Timpano, feel free to reach out to her at kiaratimpano@gmail.com
 
Dr. Timpano is considering graduate school applicants for Fall 2024 admission, contingent upon departmental funding availability. Interested applicants can contact Dr. Timpano if they have questions. 

HOW TO APPLY

All applications should go through the departmental application process. Prospective students of Dr. Timpano’s should apply to the Adult Clinical track. 

Required departmental application materials include a CV, personal statement, three letters of recommendation, official transcripts, and two short-response application questions (on 1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and 2. Quantitative background). GRE scores are not considered for admission to the UM Clinical Psychology program.
