Postdoctoral Researcher at Birkbeck, University of London

A new Medical Research Council-funded study is beginning that aims to investigate the genetic and environmental causes of psychotic experiences in adolescence. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, the most common psychotic disorders, are severe conditions that usually begin in early adulthood. Very little is known about the causes of psychotic experiences when they first begin to emerge in adolescence, before the onset of psychotic disorders. This research is led by Dr Angelica Ronald and supported by a team of collaborators with expertise in this area. The position offered is for 24 months.
