Jon C. Horvitz grew up in Philadelphia, and graduated from Haverford College before receiving his PhD in Psychology at the University of Calfornia, Santa Barbara. After post-doctoral work in neuroscience at Princeton University, he was a professor of psychology at Columbia University, Boston College, and now City College of New York/CUNY.

His research examines brain circuits underlying natural and drug rewards, and he has been a grant reviewer for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. He loves to play jazz piano. He and his wife regularly travel to Spain to visit her family.
