The CATS Lab is recruiting new members!

PhD Applicants. Dr. Huggins admits students for the Clinical Science PhD program at the University of Arizona. Please review our research page to see if you’re a good match for our work!

The program at the University of Arizona is best suited for students who wish to pursue a career in science. If desired, students have the opportunity to complete a specialty minor in Neuropsychology. More information about the program and application process can be found here. The application for Fall 2024 enrollment has closed - please check back later if interested in applying for next year’s cycle.
