PANDABox is a NIH-funded, open science protocol for remotely collecting laboratory-grade data from children at risk for atypical development via telehealth. Dr. Kelleher's team recently used PANDABox to longitudinally track early development of children with neurogenetic syndromes using a variety of methods, including clinical, behavioral, and spectral techniques (e.g. heart rate defined sustained attention, EEG). Since the start of this project, the PANDABox user base has grown substantially, and the protocol is now being used by a variety of teams at Purdue and beyond, both to map early developmental phenotypes and as an outcome measure for treatment. Now, Kelleher is seeking to partner with a postdoctoral scholar interested in supervising the dissemination of data from this project.

The scholar will also support open access of PANDABox by administratively supporting an open science hub the Kelleher team is developing to support cross-site collaboration across PANDABox sites. The candidate will have sufficient expertise to independently draft manuscripts and analyze longitudinal data with support from the PI. It is anticipated that 50% of the candidate's time will be devoting to writing and data analysis, and 50% to project management, administrative tasks, professional development, lab meetings, and mentoring junior scientists.

• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills and professionalism as a collegial team member
