Job Summary
Full-time Clinical Research Coordinator I (CRC I) needed in the Division of Neurotherapeutics, amultidisciplinary clinical neuroscience group. We conduct neuroimaging, brain stimulation, psychophysiological, and
behavioral studies of mood and anxiety disorders. Most of our work uses neuromodulation devices as tools to both treat
disease and understand the brain.
The CRC will assist with the collection of psychophysiological (heart rate, galvanic skin response), neuroimaging (fMRI
and PET), and behavioral task data. Data analysis will include a variety of statistical methods and will likely require
learning new software tools (e.g., SPM). The CRC will work closely with individuals with psychiatric disorders by
administering and scoring standardized questionnaires and clinical interviews. There will be opportunities to shadow
clinicians in the Division and observe neurosurgeries.
The CRC will also work closely with investigators, study staff, sponsors, and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to
implement and oversee studies, submit appropriate regulatory forms, and maintain study databases. The CRC will assist
with grant proposal submissions, renewals, and progress reports. The CRC will also be involved in writing scientific
poster abstracts and manuscripts for publication and will be accordingly credited as an author.
Qualifications
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree with at least 1 year of related research experience not for course credit required. This position is best suited for an applicant with a background in cognitive neuroscience or psychology who plans to apply for clinical psychology/neuroscience Ph.D. programs or medical school. General Biology, Engineering, or other majors are also acceptable with demonstrated quantitative skills. Strong preference will be given to candidates with prior exposure or experience collecting psychophysiological data (i.e. HRV, GSR, Respiration), psychological scales data (i.e. HAM-D, MADRS, Y-BOCS) OR prior experience with neuroimaging (fMRI or EEG) and SPM. Prior experience using Neuronavigation tools such as Brainsight is a plus but not required. The position requires high-level technical and analytical skills, the ability to effectively manage multiple tasks at once, attention to detail, and strong communication skills. The CRC will be working closely with psychiatric patients and should therefore be comfortable and considerate while working with clinical populations.
