The lab is currently hiring at all levels (lab manager, research assistant, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellow).
The Lab Manager Opening would provide oversight for a new and exciting project that was recently funded (R21MH136408) that examines the role of pubertal and adolescent brain development on developing psychosis. This project, for the first time, will examine how (structural, functional, cognitive, direct clinical impact), when (timing/developmental context), where (brain connectivity and hippocampal subvolume), and for whom (sex-specificity) to target intervention to reduce or delay the transition to psychosis. Individuals in this position will learn about project management but will also receive extensive training in neuroimaging analyses, hormonal development, and emerging clinical symptoms. There will also be opportunities to participate in building new projects, posters, and publications.
