Massachusetts General Hospital We are currently looking to hire 2 full-time clinical research coordinators (start date summer 2024) to join us at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and assist with NIMH- and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-funded studies aimed at improving short-term risk prediction for suicidal behavior in adolescents. A primary interest in suicide and depression research is not required for these positions. Rather, we seek candidates with the character and potential to excel in our lab and beyond, regardless of their specific clinical research interests.Studies assessing proximal risk for suicidal behavior use computational methods to model neurocognitive markers and/or ambulatory indices (i.e., mobile technology including actigraphy, passive sensing of physiological arousal, passive sensing of social engagement and physical activity, and ecological momentary assessment) in psychiatrically hospitalized youth (see RF1MH120830, R01MH124899, R01MH115905, K23MH126168). Additional studies focus on employing computer vision to identify visual indicators of suicide risk among adolescents (R21MH127231, YIG-1-020-20). An additional study aims to examine how parent-child stress interactions may be associated with or protect against suicide risk in adolescents using automatic sensing of acoustic and visual behaviors (R21MH130767). Our most recently funded NIMH study NIMH aims to develop machine learning algorithms with electronic health record data for the prospective prediction of suicide risk among racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority youth. The research coordinators will work under the mentorship of Dr. Richard Liu and Dr. Taylor Burke at Massachusetts General Hospital. These positions are particularly well suited for individuals seeking to gain research and clinical experience prior to graduate or medical school.More information about the clinical research coordinator positions and the professional development opportunities we provide are detailed here and you can find the link to apply here: https://www.moodandbehaviorlab.org/crc-application.
