opportunities for research students to work on critical research projects at Google in a less structured way. The program allows opportunities beyond the limitations of our traditional internship program on aspects such as duration, time commitment, and working location (with options for on-site or remote).
The topics student researchers work on tend to be open-ended and exploratory, and don't always have a clear deliverable like a traditional internship would. Google Research is building the next generation of intelligent systems for all Google products. To achieve this, we're working on projects that utilize the latest computer science techniques developed by skilled software engineers
and research scientists. Google Research teams collaborate closely with other teams across Google, maintaining the flexibility and versatility required to adapt new projects and foci that meet the demands of the world's fast-paced business needs.

in brain development. We take a holistic biopsychosocial approach to understanding and treating mood problems among youth that encompasses many aspects of childrens’ lives. We hope this multidisciplinary approach will lead to a greater understanding of how to treat mood problems and lead to happier and healthier youth.

and also read the project descriptions below: Project Title: Risk and Resilience in Youth at Familial Risk for Mood Disorders Project Information: Have you ever come across people with mood problems who worry about passing on their struggles to their children?
What can we recommend that concerned parents and kids do in order to promote childhood resilience—to equip kids with tools to cope with life’s stressors in adaptive, healthy ways? Get involved in this study, and you will come to better understand why some children of parents with mood disorders do not go on to struggle with those issues while others do! The goal of this study is to discover factors that make youth either vulnerable or resilient to developing mood symptoms.
Children (8-17 years) of families with and without histories of Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder participate in clinical interviews, cognitive tasks, MRIs, and blood/saliva tests. We are starting to follow up with families participating in the study over the next 2-5 years to track neural and behavioral markers of risk over time and see if we can base any clinical outcomes on these measures. Project Title: Neurodevelopmental Features of interactionual Dimorphism in Pediatric Psychopathology Project Information: Would you like to work on big data and develop new models of the brain?
Are you interested in looking at psychiatric illness through a developmental lens? For the analytically hungry, we have genetic, brain, behavioral, and cognitive data for numerous kids. One area that we seek to understand is why girls sometimes more frequently experience depression and anxiety while boys experience attention deficits and hyperactivity. Using data from 10,000 kids in the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort, our team is conducting exciting analyses to discover how the brain’s structure and function might explain apparent differences between boys and girls.
Project Title: Arousal Induced by Medication Study (AIMS) Project Information: Have you ever come across parents who have children with mood issues and are debating whether or not to have them take medication for those issues? Ever curious about better understanding the potential risks versus benefits of prescribed antidepressant medication in youth? Or more generally, are you looking to gain expertise in conducting clinical drug trials? The goal of this multi-site trial is to evaluate the benefits and safety of antidepressant and psychotherapy treatment in teens who have a family history of Bipolar Disorder and therefore could be at risk specifically for antidepressant-related dysfunctional emotional arousal.
These youth complete behavioral, clinical, physiological, and genetic backssments, as well as MRI scans of the brain. Project Title: Measuring Overeating and Mood Effects on Neurobehaviors Thro Ugh Maturation: (MOMENTUM) Are you interested in better understanding mind and body interactions? This study aims to elucidate the relationship between mood and appetite. Youth 9-17 years old who are struggling to maintain a healthy weight and experiencing sad moods are invited to have an MRI scan at two time points over the course of two years to examine neural reward networks that are activated while the child plays a game in the scanner.
Participants are also clinically evaluated for insulin sensitivity and symptoms of depression at baseline, 6 months, and 24 months. Project Title: Janssen This is a NEW study that invites adolescents and young adults (15-25 years) who have a parent with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (BD) to provide clinical, genetic, and other biological information at 6-month intervals over 24 months.
The goal of the study is to evaluate early risk markers that are targets for treatment with the overall goal of delaying or preventing the onset of bipolar disorder in at-risk youth.
as well as randomized clinical trials with breast cancer patients. This position would appeal to those interested in cognitive function, insomnia, or cancer. We are looking for research assistants who will help with neuropsychological testing and scoring, MRI scanning, scheduling, filing, data entry, scanning paper files to digital copies, and other responsibilities.
We are looking for students who are very reliable, flexible, and eager to learn about cancer patients' cognitive and sleep domains as well as understanding the importance of the day-to-day grind in research. This is excellent preparation for doctoral training in medicine, neuroscience, public health, or health/clinical psychology.
We require a schedule of one, uninterrupted 6-hour shift a week between the hours of 9AM and 6PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, and a 3-Quarter minimum commitment, starting Fall Quarter of 2016.
Because our study visits with participants must accommodate the participants' schedules, our student RAs are expected to be flexible and sometimes help with study visits outside of their specified shifts. Successful candidates will begin training immediately. Interested students who can make the aforementioned time commitments should email Melissa Packer at with their cover letter and resume/CV.
