QuantDev is a core of methodologists at Pennsylvania State University – primarily with backgrounds in quantitative psychology and statistics. We aim to stimulate, coordinate, support, and disseminate research and teaching about the use of quantitative methods in social science.
We develop new methods for the study of human behavior – measurement, study design, and analysis techniques – and use them to study behavioral change. We consult and collaborate with a broad range of social scientists on research projects that span multiple time-scales and levels of analysis (cells to society, milliseconds to millennia, cradle to grave).
We are always looking for interesting people and projects – especially creative and innovative ones. The group maintains an active grant portfolio and often contributes to new grant applications through consultation and collaboration. If interested in working on a proposal, joining the team, or pitching an idea – send us a note.
