<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">With the launch of a CIHR-funded team grant: the Canadian Cannabis and Psychosis Research Team (<b>CCPRT</b>), which involves several research groups across 4 Canadian universities
(University of Montreal, University of Toronto, Dalhousie University and McGill University), we seek to fill a Postdoc position for a three-year project starting in the fall of 2020 (or at the selected candidate’s earliest convenience).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">One of the main goals of this multidisciplinary team is to make progress in understanding the underlying
<b>neurodevelopmental mechanisms of adolescent cannabis exposure</b> in relation to
<b>psychosis</b> from a population neuroscience perspective. Within this initiative, we will be
<b>data-pooling</b> existing longitudinal neuroimaging datasets to create a <b>unique study of adolescent cannabis use and brain development</b> (n=5,000; 8 to 25 years old). We plan to use a meta-analytical approach, or mega-analytical approach when possible,
to study the pathways through which cannabis use induces psychotic symptoms. This endeavour will be an extension of our recent work (</span><span lang="FR-CA"><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26308966/"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26308966/</span></a></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">;

The project will also involve using machine learning tools with cross-study validation to explore the risk markers for susceptibility to cannabis-induced psychotic symptoms. By integrating and harmonising large-scale brain imaging datasets, this research program
will provide exceptional data output and knowledge translation to the Canadian Consortium for Early Intervention in Psychosis.
