Jonathan S. Abramowitz, PhD
Clinical Psychology
(Director of Clinical Training and Martin S. Wallach Distinguished Professor)
Anxiety and fear are the most common psychological problems. In our lab we conduct research to advance the understanding, prevention, and treatment of clinical anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
This site provides information about myself, the UNC Anxiety Lab, our research projects, and the opportunities available for undergraduate and graduate students interested in the treatment and study of anxiety and related disorders.
Our lab considers an ideal scientific community to be one that includes a diverse representation of individuals at all academic levels. We are committed to training students and scientists of all backgrounds.
Latest news and notes:
- Hot off the press: Download this state of the art review of OCD treatment in adults published in BMJ
- If you have questions about applying to our clinical psychology PhD program, please read this important information for prospective students first. As of June 2026, I am not sure whether I will be accepting a new graduate student for Fall 2027. Please check back in September 2026.
- Unfortunately, I also do NOT have any openings for Research Assistants, Post-bac positions, or Post-doctoral trainees for the 2026-7 academic year. I’m sorry!
