Research Assistant
About the project
---------------------
The SENSDYN study (SENSitive developmental transitions: Real\-time youth–environment DYNamics toward personalized ecological interventions) investigates how adolescents' mental health unfolds in real\-time within their daily environments. SENSDYN employs a participatory co\-development approach, where adolescents act as "co\-producers" to optimize an innovative measurement\-burst design. This design integrates Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) with passive smartphone sensing (e.g., geolocation, accelerometry) and wearable monitoring (e.g., heart rate). During summer 2026, we will collaborate with 20 adolescents (12–18 years old) to co\-develop and pilot the study. As a Research Assistant, you will contribute to this exciting phase by supporting recruitment, focus groups, qualitative interviews, digital assessment set\-up, and data collection.
