A Brief Overview

At the Brain-Gene Development Lab, we use brain MRI to investigate normative human brain development, as well as the altered developmental trajectories associated with neurocognitive and psychosocial vulnerabilities. We are seeking a mission-driven individual who is prepared for a preferred 3-year work commitment to join our team as a Clinical Research Coordinator. This is a hybrid position (preferably 3 days in-person) with standard working hours; we do not expect any very early or late evening study visits. As of right now, our study is conducted entirely remotely, meaning all patient contact is done through phone calls and emails. This may change as we incorporate prospective neuroimaging in the future. While a background in psychology is preferred, no prior experience in brain imaging, statistics, or data analysis is required. If you are enthusiastic and motivated to work in a clinical research setting, we encourage you to apply!
