James Walkup's early training was in philosophy, first at Yale University, then as a Rotary Foundation Graduate Fellow at St. Andrews University (Scotland). After receiving his Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology, he held a postdoctoral fellowship in inpatient psychiatry at SUNY (Downstate). In 1991, he was awarded a NIMH postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research at Rutgers. In 1994, he was hired as a full-time faculty member at GSAPP. His research has concerned the organization and financing of care for people with serious mental illness, development of services for people who have combined medical and psychiatric problems, work disability, HIV and serious mental illness, and the history of general hospital psychiatry.
