Clinical Research Coordinator

Clinical Research Coordinator I

The Laboratory for Neuropsychiatry and Neuromodulation at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University is recruiting a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator I to join our laboratory and work on a variety of exciting and innovative human neuroscience projects under the mentorship of Dr. Joan Camprodon and other faculty in the program. Our laboratory is a multidisciplinary group conducting clinical, translational and basic neuroscience research with healthy and neuropsychiatric populations. We use a wide variety of techniques, including brain stimulation/neuromodulation (TMS, tDCS, ECT, DBS, etc.), neuroimaging, EEG, behavioral and clinical assessments. Additionally, the program includes the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) clinical service, which is tightly integrated with our research mission and where we treat patients with neuropsychiatric conditions.

The CRC II will work closely with investigators, post-docs, and study staff to oversee current and upcoming studies. The CRC II's responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

• Conduct TMS, tDCS, MRI and EEG experiments.
• Conduct clinical and neuropsychological assessments.
• Perform MRI, EEG and behavioral data analysis.
• Coordinate recruitment of study patients and subjects, and act as a resource for them and their families.
• Work closely with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to maintain and update appropriate study regulatory forms.
• Coordinate and plan activities and duties for research projects according to defined protocols and procedures.
• Compile and maintain clinical research databases, patient files, reports, regulatory binders and study databases.
• Perform quality control data checks.
• Participate in the production of scholarly reports, research abstracts, posters, and manuscripts for publication (including opportunities for first author roles when appropriate).
• Extensive training in brain stimulation, neuroimaging, clinical research, neuroscience, and writing skills will be provided.
• Strong scientific and career development mentoring will be provided, as well as opportunities to publish and present at national conferences.

The following skills are required:

• Background in neuroscience, psychology, engineering or data science is preferred.
• Strong interpersonal skills are a must.
• Candidates must be highly organized, attentive to detail and able to work independently.
• Applicants with strong technical backgrounds in computer/data science or mathematics and an interest in applying these skills to neuroscience are given high priority.
• Applicants with prior experience in neuroimaging analysis (e.g. SPM, FSL, Freesurfer), EEG analysis (e.g. MNE, EEGLAB) or psychological task design software (e.g. Presentation, E-Prime, Psychophysics Toolbox, PsychoPy) will be given high priority.
• A strong background in programming (Unix, MATLAB, Python, R) and/or statistical analysis software (R, SPSS, Stata) will also be given high priority.
• Good writing and editing skills, and solid PC or Mac computer skills required.
• Experience with clinical populations is preferred but not required.
