About Membership
The Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) invites you to join senior and junior psychiatric neuroscientists who are engaged in basic, translational, and clinical science in order to serve people with mental illness.
The Society is a vital and dynamic organization. Founded almost 60 years ago, SOBP has undergone a dramatic scientific renaissance over the past decade. It is a unique Society, where both senior and junior scientists contribute to a stimulating and extremely well-attended meeting. Our Journal, Biological Psychiatry, is now the fourth-ranked journal in Psychiatry in the world (among 94 journals), with an impact factor of 6.779. When you become a member of this intimate, yet cutting edge, Society, you will have the opportunity to interact with thought leaders who are fueling innovation, access and development in the field of psychiatric neuroscience including major advances in genetics and therapeutics. Your membership in the Society of Biological Psychiatry will put you in touch with your colleagues who have shaped the field as it currently exists and it will enable you to be one of those who shape biological psychiatry as it will be known!
The Society of Biological Psychiatry has made it economical and easy to become a member. Since the SOBP has as a major goal the development of young scientists, you can apply for membership with 5 peer-reviewed publications. If you have fewer publications, you can apply for Associate Membership. Residents of the USA, Canada and Mexico (North America) are eligible for “Regular” membership. Residents of other countries can join the Society as a “Corresponding” member.
Many leaders in our field have joined the SOBP over the past 10 years so that the Society is maintaining a balance of new senior and junior members. For the first time, whether you apply for Regular, Associate, or Corresponding membership, the following will apply:
For our colleagues who do not reside in North America: We understand that your own Society is, and should be, your main priority, and we urge you to maintain your primary membership in your own Society. We do hope that you will consider joining our Society as a Corresponding Member, attending our Annual Meeting, and receiving our highly acclaimed Journal.
