Zainab Hosseini
Postdoc Contingent, Psychology
BioDr. Hosseini focuses on building evidence-based psychological interventions for youth impacted by chronic adversities, with a special interest in supporting forcibly displaced youth (refugees, IDPs, etc.).

In addition to their design, she uses mixed methods approaches in longitudinal field experiments to rigorously test the effectiveness of interventions.
Dr. Hosseini holds a PhD in Developmental and Psychological Sciences from Stanford University. She completed a Master of Education at Harvard University where she collaborated with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and she also holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan.
