The Navy Research Psychology Specialty is currently
screening interested Doctoral candidates, Post-doctoral Fellows, or recent PhD
recipients about becoming a Medical Service Corps Officer in US Navy,
serving as a Research Psychologist.
The Navy has a small research science community
specializing in psychology. We typically bring in 1-2 persons per year as commissioned
officers to work as scientists focusing on basic and applied research in
areas of military medicine, human performance, and psychological issues.
There is a standard application process. Persons must be
able to meet the citizenship, security, and medical requirements to join
the US Military as well as meet the professional standards of the Research
Psychology community. That is a doctorate in a research-based PhD program in
Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related discipline, plus a strong
track record of
publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Interested parties can either contact their local navy
medical officer recruiter or respond to this announcement calling
