A full-time Clinical Research Coordinator is being recruited for a collaborative research team investigating the relationship between brain development and mental wellbeing in youth. The successful candidate will contribute multiple ongoing studies examining the neuroanatomical and functional substrates that contribute to cognitive, social and emotional functioning in both medical populations and healthy youth. Duties will involve direct work with research participants (recruitment, in-person data collection), including helping to execute study visits involving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neurocognitive assessment, data management, statistical analyses, and dissemination of research results. Data management will include scoring standardized assessments, medical record reviews, data entry and verification, and training in the processing of neuroimaging data. This position will involve close collaboration with the principal investigator, as well as other research staff and investigators at NCH and medical staff at NCH/The Ohio State University. Opportunities exist for mentorship and professional development for applicants who are interested in gaining experience that will prepare them to apply for advanced graduate programs, particularly in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, or neuroscience. In addition to mentorship provided by the lab principal investigator, lab members have the option to participate in the Center for Biobehavioral Health Post-Baccalaureate Program, which is dedicated to aiding staff in identifying and understanding career paths and managing the application process for various fields' graduate programs. Applicants are encouraged to submit resumes with sufficient detail to demonstrate their academic record (i.e., college GPA) and relevant research or work experience. Cover letters are encouraged.
