New Faculty

The Georgetown Psychology Department is pleased to announce the addition of two new faculty members, Drs. Rebecca Ryan and Adam Green. Below you will find brief descriptions of their work, and the direction they plan on taking their research here at Georgetown.


Rebecca Ryan 

Dr. Ryan joined the faculty in August of 2009 after completing an NIH-funded Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy Studies, a position she held since earning a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University. Her research explores the implications of the recent rise in nonmarital childbirth for young children’s well-being as well as the relationship between parenting and children’s development more generally.

Adam Green

Dr. Green will be joining the faculty at Georgetown in the Fall of 2010. Dr. Green's motivating interest is in human intelligence, and especially in understanding how neural and molecular-genetic processes constitute this intelligence.
