Individuals interested in infant brain development, adolescent brain development, and/or childhood disorders such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders are encouraged to apply. The work will also include support for other federally funded brain imaging studies on the development of attention, learning, and cognition including the ABCD study.
