  POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE – Next Generation Screening of Maternal Mental Health Posting Date: February 15th 2021   The Health-Omics & Perinatal Epidemiology (HOPE) Research Group at the Yale Child Study Center seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to develop Next Generation Screening approaches to identify and support pregnant people at risk for adverse mental health outcomes.   This project focuses on implementing passive data capture within an existing, longitudinal pregnancy cohort to identify digital phenotypes that better predict mental health outcomes. A second objective of this project is to integrate digital and biological phenotypes (e.g., genomics/epigenomics) in prediction models of maternal mental health and evaluate their performance versus conventional models based on questionnaire data alone. The Postdoctoral Associate will be responsible for optimizing passive data capture protocols, biological data QC, data analyses and manuscript preparation. The successful...
