Labs & Resources
Laboratory resources
The research facilities available to our faculty and students are located throughout two adjoining buildings connected by an underground walkway: the 130,000 square foot Psychology Building and two floors totaling 26,300 square foot in the Multi-Disciplinary Science Building II (MSB-II).
Built in 2009, MSB-II is specifically designed to house at least 10 neuroscience labs, and state-of-the-art animal quarters, including a transgenic facility. All core faculty members have their own research laboratories in these buildings. These labs are supplied and staffed appropriately for their particular research programs.
All stretch mentors have laboratory space and resources in their home departments or institutions. Trainees generally do their research in mentors’ labs. Since many of the mentors currently collaborate, graduate students commonly work fluidly across labs and in shared space.
The Clinical Science Program has shared research space available for trainees who are doing new work that does not match the facilities of their mentor. For example, we presently have a human eye-tracking and eyeblink conditioning system set up in this space for a student who is working across two labs that did not have this equipment.
Our internal resources
Our department is generously supported with excellent facilities, dedicated staff, strong fiscal support from the College of Arts and Sciences, and outstanding resources for the training of psychological scientists.
We have staff who oversee technical support and human resources throughout the department. Additional staff is responsible for admissions, student records, and graduate advising. We have our own finance office to handle requisitions and grant funds.
Our department maintains fully staffed electronics, woodworking, and metal shops. Our faculty has access to these shops at the cost of the materials, with labor covered by the department. Our support staff includes three technicians for computer maintenance and trouble-shooting.
Computer resources
IU faculty and students have access to extensive computing resources to meet the training needs for research, education, and clinical care. At the departmental level, all investigators’ offices and laboratories are equipped with personal computers that are kept current using a life-cycle replacement policy. Numerous software applications are made available at no charge to IU faculty through enterprise licensing agreements between the university and its vendors, including Microsoft and Adobe.
