The Laboratory for Neuropsychiatry and Neuromodulation at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University is recruiting a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC II) to join our laboratory and work on a variety of exciting and innovative human neuroscience projects under the mentorship of Dr. Joan Camprodon. 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 neuropsychiatric populations. This provides ample opportunities for clinical exposure for interested candidates. Duties and Responsibilities: The CRC II will work closely with investigators, post-docs, and study staff to oversee current and upcoming studies. The CRC II’s responsibilities will include but are not limited to (1) administering TMS treatments as part of the TMS clinical service; (2) conducting TMS, tDCS, MRI and EEG experiments; (3) conducting clinical and neuropsychological assessments; (4) performing MRI, EEG and behavioral data analysis; (5) coordinating recruitment of study patients and subjects, and act as a resource for them and their families; (6) working closely with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to maintain and update appropriate study regulatory forms; (7) compiling and maintaining clinical research databases, patient files, reports, regulatory binders and study databases; (8) performing quality control data checks; and (9) participating in the production of scholarly reports, research abstracts, posters, and manuscripts for publication (including opportunities for first author roles when appropriate). Requirements and Expectations: B.A. or B.S. in neuroscience, psychology, engineering or related fields required. 1+ years of directly related research experience required. The following skills are required: (1) background in neuroscience, psychology or engineering is preferred; (2) applicants with strong technical backgrounds in computer/data science or mathematics and an interest in applying these skills to neuroscience are encouraged to apply; (3) strong interpersonal skills are a must; (4) candidates must be highly organized, attentive to detail and able to work independently; (5) applicants with prior experience in neuroimaging analysis, EEG analysis or psychological task design software (Presentation, E-Prime, Psychophysics Toolbox, PsychoPy, etc.) will be given high priority; (6) a strong background in programming (Unix, MATLAB, Python, R) and/or statistical analysis software (R, SPSS, Stata) will also be given high priority; (7) good writing and editing skills, and solid PC or Mac computer skills required; (8) experience with clinical populations is preferred but not required. Additional Information: Extensive training in brain stimulation, neuroimaging, clinical research, neuroscience, and writing skills will be provided. Duties will be performed in a research laboratory/office, within an academic hospital environment at the Massachusetts General Hospital Charlestown HealthCare Center in Charlestown, MA. Work will be conducted over a forty-hour workweek, but actual schedule can be flexible. Massachusetts General Hospital is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
