Dr. Hatemi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Iowa, Research Fellow at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics and is a visting scientist in the department of Genetic Epidemiology at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. His current research focuses on  exploring what drives political and social behavior by integrating an understanding of biological predispositions with the stimuli humans encounter in a social context. Connecting genes to relevant biological systems, to cognitive processes which interact with personal experience and other environmental stimuli that dynamically shape preferences and behaviors on core elements of group life, Pete has a wide focus of interests, including: social and political values, fundamentalism, ideology, voting behaviors, partisanship, ideologues, terrorism, parental care, mate selection, social bonding, fear, and the impact of policy positions on the psychological well being of the public.
