Jocelyn A. Ricard

I am currently a PhD candidate in Neurosciences at Stanford University. I am a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow, a National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine Ford Foundation Predoctoral Scholar, an Institute of International Education (IIE) Quad Fellow, and a Stanford University Knight-Hennessy Scholar!

My research interests focus on how area-level structural disadvantage (e.g., neighborhood deprivation, incarceration, and violence exposure) impacts functional brain network organization during adolescence. Additionally, I examine how methodological practices in human neuroimaging may bias inference and limit generalizability.

Prior to starting at Stanford University, I worked as a post-baccalaureate computational research assistant at the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) (German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases) in Berlin, Germany, followed by a research assistant position in neuroscience at Yale University in New Haven, CT.
