Excited to share that I am recruiting a graduate student through the joint Clinical/Developmental Ph.D. program at University of Pittsburgh. We study risk for affective disorders in adolescents, such as anxiety, depression, and suicidality. Spread the word! (1/5) fendlab.pitt.edu/prospective-ap…

We focus on the intersection of neurobiological risk factors and social experiences, especially experiences with peers and social media, and how these influence day-to-day emotional experience measured using ecological momentary assessment. (2/5)

We are currently funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study day-to-day fluctuations in emotional health among adolescent girls using ecological momentary assessment and passive sensing of social media use and fMRI of sensitivity to social evaluation (3/5)

I am looking for students interested in adolescent development and anxiety, depression, or suicidality, with a focus on social media use, emotional reactivity and regulation, peer acceptance/rejection, affective neuroscience, ecological momentary assessment, or eyetracking (4/5)

Join a collaborative and vibrant lab in an amazing department in the wonderful city of Pittsburgh! Message me with specific questions but no need to email me to let me know you're applying (5/5)

Thanks also to coauthors Cecile Ladouceur Emily Hutchinson Stefanie Sequeira Caroline Oppenheimer Lori Scott, Sarah Wang, Celine Lu.
