Graduate Students
Dr. Groh will be considering graduate student applications this upcoming academic year (Fall 2024). Students would primarily be involved in the NICHD PROMISE and NSF MOMS studies for which data is currently being collected. Students will gain substantive expertise in the neurobiology of parenting, mother psychological health (including attachment, depression, anxiety), parenting behavior, and parent-infant attachment. Students will also be trained in EEG/ERP data collection and reduction, administration and coding of attachment assessments, and evaluation of parenting behavior.
Students have the opportunity to work with existing longitudinal data collected in the lab, including from the Parent and Infant Responses to Social and Emotional Experiences Study and Family Adjustment during the COVID-19 Pandemic Study. These studies focus on mothers, fathers, and their children, and comprise a wealth of multi-level data (observation, autonomic physiology, EEG/ERP, interview, questionnaire) pertaining to attachment, emotional responding, and psychological adjustment. Meta-analysis is a central component of the research conducted in the lab. Thus, students will also gain expertise in meta-analytic methods and analysis.
Students are immersed in research conducted in the lab as soon as they begin the program. Students are mentored in individual projects that they present at (inter)national conferences and submit for publication. Students will also have the opportunity to be mentored in grant writing.
Interested candidates may email Dr. Groh to discuss their research interests and graduate school goals.
