understand the development and maintenance of mental health concerns among
post-secondary students. To carry out this work, the successful applicant will
be involved in leading literature reviews, analyzing existing longitudinal and
ecological momentary assessment data, and supporting knowledge translation and
dissemination (e.g., writing up study findings for peer-reviewed publications,
and presenting findings at conferences). The successful applicant also will be
involved in co-supervising graduate students and volunteers in the lab, and
supporting grant applications for additional projects.
