About the ProjectPrior research suggests that smartphones can be used to self-assess, automatically monitor, and predict mental health in adult patients. However, the use of smartphone data in adolescents/young adults has not been investigated. The BIO-Young study aims to identify a composite smartphone-based electronic marker that discriminates adolescents/young adults with depressive disorder from bipolar disorder and healthy control individuals.
Applicants preferably with an MD (or MSc Psychology) with clinical experience within psychiatry and with an interest or flair for research.
You will be based in the world-class Copenhagen Affective disorder Research Center (CADIC) at Psychiatric Center Copenhagen, working in an excellent team of PhD students, Postdocs and senior researchers. There will be close collaborations with the other TEAM project partners and you will have the opportunity to work with them and the clinical and computer organisations, which are part of the consortium. There are nine project partners, one from industry, two not-for-profit healthcare providers and six academic institutions (including two university hospitals), across five countries.
Working with TEAMTEAM – Technology Enabled Mental Health for Young People – is funded by the European Commission through its Marie Sklowdowska Curie programme and all PhD positions are subject to this funding. More information is available at www.team-itn.ucd.ie
