Education and academic duties

Jung obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1986 and obtained his PhD in clinical psychology from the University of New Mexico in 2001. [3] [4] Jung is a member of the American Psychological Association (division 40, clinical neuropsychology), the International Society of Intelligence Research (ISIR), and Heterodox Academy. [5] [3] Jung sits on the editorial board of Intelligence , [6] Frontiers in Psychiatry (neuroimaging and stimulation), [7] and Public Library of Science (PLoS ONE). [8]

Research

Jung has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, most of which deal with intelligence or creativity. [1] [3] [ non-primary source needed ]

In 2007, Richard Haier and Jung published a study advocating the parieto-frontal integration theory (P-FIT) of intelligence. [9] [10] [11]

Jung has published papers on the neuroscience of creativity. [12] [13] [14] Due to his work on creativity, Jung has been interviewed in media such as The New York Times , [15] The Atlantic , [16] and The Washington Post . [17]
