Projects in the labs are highly interdisciplinary and combine methods from experimental and clinical psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics with functional neuroimaging and in vivo electrochemistry to investigate decision-making in healthy and clinical populations (focusing on adults with mood, anxiety, trauma, or substance-use disorders, and at-risk youth). This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented person who enjoys interacting with others, being a key part of a diverse and active scientific environment and working with individuals with varied mental health difficulties.

The Clinical Research Interviewer will also be expected to implement crisis management procedures, and assist with neuroimaging. Other duties may include participant recruitment/screening and oversight, and general clinical research management and supervision of research assistants.
The successful team member will have strong interpersonal and communication skills and must work well independently and in team settings. Applicants must also be skilled in monitoring and adjusting priorities, time management, and problem solving. The Clinical Research Interviewer is an essential member of the research team. Knowledge of clinical research methods and research project regulations such as Institutional Review Board protocols is preferred, but not required. Training and supervision will be provided for all aspects of the position. Some evening and/or weekend work will be required.
