Lab Name: Interdisciplinary Neuroscience for Social Development Supervisor
Supervisor Name: Junqiang (Jacob) Dai
Position Title: Ph.D. Student
Description:
I am recruiting 1-2 developmental students this year to study the association between adolescent brain development, social behaviors, and mental health using multi-method and multimodal neuroimaging. Our lab studies a broad range of topics using the data we collected here and the ABCD dataset (https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinkprotect.cudasvc.com%2Furl%3Fa%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fwww.insd-lab.com%252f%26c%3DE%2C1%2CxTUJ9dpo_UT1mXslqToO3U79_h9PXHGbdys2bEDLV_2QLQvVU3eWHdhsgMWIxSNO0RLJIZb4V7oNCx9fF-4qFXL3PqYmNk6wg7iR71L-g9tE_25ALUKem326%26typo%3D1&data=05%7C02%7Cjdai%40gsu.edu%7Caa3e87a74e9c47451b7508de20a42d7e%7C515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70%7C0%7C0%7C638984086674735170%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TaTwdH8cruRhZcYmFDkiOFTW%2BKERRnzBLhkvrxc3ENM%3D&reserved=0). We closely collaborate with Computer Science scholars in the TReNDS center; students will thus have the opportunity to work with many computational neuroscientists on advanced analysis in high performance computing environment. We welcome students from all backgrounds. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at jdai@gsu.edu
