Dr. Golub is Professor of Psychology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center, where she is on the faculty of the Basic and Applied Social Psychology PhD Program and the Clinical Psychology @ Queens College PhD program.

Dr. Golub is a Social Psychologist with training and experience in public health, and her work seeks to apply social psychological theory and methods to improve health interventions and outcomes. Dr. Golub directs the Hunter Alliance for Research & Translation (HART), whose mission is to translate research findings into practical implications for service and advocacy organizations, accelerating the pace of equitable, just, empirically-based practice. Her research applies social cognitive theories such as stereotype threat, anticipated stigma, cognitive disengagement, and self-discrepancy to the study of health behavior, with a focus on sexual risk-taking and adherence. Dr. Golub’s NIH-funded research applies findings across disciplines (including social psychology, neuropsychology, behavioral economics and decision sciences) to inform new approaches to HIV prevention and care. She collaborates with community-based organizations throughout New York to translate study findings into prevention and care for vulnerable populations.

Dr. Golub was a recipient of the "40 under 40" award from the Feminist Press, which honored activists and scholars who embody feminist values in their work.  In 2017, she was chosen as a "Research Exemplar," by the Professionalism & Integrity in Research Program, which recognizes high-impact, federally-funded researchers who maintain a reputation for professionalism and integrity.
