The GAYA Study-Exploring the Genetic Architecture of Youth Anxiety

1►Dr Sandra Meier,Dr Manuel Mattheisen

2►Applications accepted all year round

3►Competition Funded PhD Project

About the Project

PROSIT Lab seeks 1 highly motivated and curious Ph.D.student from different disciplines to join our lab in September 2023.You will be co-supervised by Drs.Sandra Meier and Manuel Mattheisen.We are part of the Psychiatry,Computer Science,and Community Health and Epidemiology Departments at Dalhousie University.

Our laboratory’s overall research goals are to improve youth’s mental health by identifying youth at risk and developing novel smartphone apps to make early intervention and preventative strategies more accessible.We are particularly interested in how genetics impact mental illness and how smartphone applications and internet cognitive behavioral treatments can assist in more accessible treatment for youths with various mental health disorders.In general,the lab’s research is based on a mix of methodology:co-design workshops,randomized control studies,collecting samples for genetic testing,smartphone application testing,individual interviews,and focus groups.

The PhD research project will focus on CIHR funded project,The GAYA Study-Exploring the Genetic Architecture of Youth Anxiety.The goal of this Pan-Canadian(taking place amongst others in Calgary,Toronto,Hamilton,and Halifax)research project is to better understand the(genetic)underpinnings of anxiety disorders by conducting a large-scale genetic study of 13,000 youth with detailed assessments for symptoms of anxiety disorders and their major comorbidities and antecedents.As such the GAYA Study represents one of the largest effort for youth anxiety world-wide.The PhD student will be fully funded through the project.However,they are also strongly encouraged to apply for eligible internal and external graduate student scholarships and will receive active support from the PROSIT lab in these funding applications.

The project will provide opportunities to work with techniques such as multivariate analysis,meta-analysis,structural equation modeling,multi-trait conditional,deep learning and joint analysis.The PhD student will be assigned to aim 4 of the project:identifying a prediction model of treatment response in youth with anxiety disorders.

Our trainees benefit from participating in Journal Clubs and seminar series,a wide range of career development opportunities,and local,national,and international research conferences.Our groups are at the forefront of anxiety genetics worldwide,co-leading analyses in international efforts to disentangle the genetic architecture of anxiety disorders(via the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium).We are looking for enthusiastic trainees with a keen interest in Genetics,Bioinformatics,Mobile Sensing,Psychology,or Psychiatry,with prior experience in data analysis and statistics and who are passionate about working with youth.

Please see http://prosit.meierlab.info/for more details about the lab itself,our research,and the team.If you are interested in our work,you can contact us at prosit dal.ca with a brief introduction that details your previous research experience and your research interests.Please also include your CV,a transcript,and a list of referees.Interested applicants should be familiar with the entrance requirements for one of Dalhousie University’s Departments of Psychiatry,Computer Science,or Community Health and Epidemiology graduate programs.We are committed to enhancing equity and diversity in our field and providing a supportive and inclusive research environment for all lab members.We encourage prospective candidates from underrepresented or equity-seeking groups in the sciences to apply to the PROSIT lab.

达尔豪斯大学坐落于加拿大美丽的海港城市,新斯科舍省省会哈里法克斯。身为终年不冻港的哈里法克斯是世界上第二大的自然深水港,也是新斯科舍的经济命脉。达尔豪斯大学在哈里法克斯南端,校园占地六十英亩,碧草绿荫,花木繁茂。向东走,即是市中心区。往南几个街区,就到了大西洋边。而学校的达尔科技校区,就设在downtown闹市中心,离主校区仅六个街区之遥。

学术及科研

作为新斯科舍省第三古老、加拿大第五古老的大学。达尔豪斯大学当今是加拿大研究型大学之一,也具有加拿大大西洋四省大学中雄厚的研究资金。校区安静、安全,以研究生院为主,曾被麦克林杂志评为全加第七的研博类重点大学。大学提供180多个学士、硕士和博士学位专业。加拿大研究生留学
