Biography
Bodnar's educational journey began at Manhattan College in 1967, in which he eventually earned his bachelors of art in history in 1971; while also serving as an intelligence officer and Vietnam veteran. Bodnar then went on to earn his master's degree in the field of psychology in 1973, with a concentration in experimental cognition; before proceeding with his PhD in experimental cognition psychology at the City University of New York, under the mentorship of Dr. Steve Ellman and Dr. Sol Steiner, in 1976.

Upon reaching his PhD, Bodnar proceeded with a post-doctoral fellowship at Columbia University's department of behavioral physiology, while working with Dr. Dennis Kelly. Bodnar proceeded by becoming an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Queens College in 1979, CUNY and the Neuropsychology Doctoral Sub-Program at CUNY, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1982, then officially became a professor in 1986. Bodnar had served as the Neuropsychology Doctoral Sub-Program Head within those previous positions, from 1992 to 1998, Chair of the Queens College Psychology Department from 1998 to 2008, Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Queens College from 2008 to 2016 and finally, the Executive Officer of the Psychology Doctoral Program at the CUNY Graduate Center in 2016 to recent date.

Throughout Bodnar's career, he has published a total of 325 peer-reviewed articles, has taught over 30 master's and 200 undergraduate students as a CUNY professor.

Research
Bodnar’s research mainly focuses on examining the underlying pharmacology and neuroanatomical sites of action, within two major neurobehavioral homeostatic systems: neurobehavioral mechanisms of food intake, and neurobehavioral mechanisms of pain inhibition; in the behavioral pharmacy laboratory. Since 2002, Bodnar has written the endogenous opioids and behavior annual reviews, which covers peer-reviewed articles within the field.

Bodnar is a member of editorial advisory boards that revolve around his area(s) of research; to which include: Physiology and Behavior, Nutritional Neuroscience (Associate Editor), Peptides, and Brain Research. In Bodnar’s behavioral pharmacology laboratory, themes relating to food intake have been examined and documented, along with the publication of peer-reviewed/written articles such as: conditioned flavor preferences, genetic ingestive responses, ingestive opioids, opioid-induced feeding, and opioid receptor subtypes. Bodnar has also assisted alongside the research and publication of pain inhibition analysis, such as: non-opioid analgesic responses, stress-induced analgesia, opioid-induced analgesia, and sex differences in opioid-induced analgesia.
