The Platform for the Analysis of Biopsychosocial Trajectories in Mental Health is offering a partial stipend for masters, PhD or postdoctoral student. This partial stipend aims to support the utilization of a platform developed by the Quebec Network for Suicide, Mood Disorders, and Related Disorders (RQSHA). The new platform, directed by Professors Michel Boivin, Marie-Claude Geoffroy, and Jean-Philippe Gouin, is a genotyping database collected from a sample of children (Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development; Quebec Newborn Twin Study). The database includes nearly 590,000 genetic variants for each study participant.
The student who receives funding through this partial stipend will conduct master’s, doctoral, or postdoctoral work in coordination with the directors of the platform to study genetic and environmental risk factors for poor emotional/behavioural regulation and for early indicators of psychopathology.
The fellowship will be awarded to a student member of the RQSHA whose supervisor(s) must also be RQSHA members. The deadline for this call is August 16, 2020, midnight.
