Job Summary

GENERAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
The Department of Psychiatry at MGH seeks a per diem Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to work on ongoing studies of adults from a longitudinal cohort, with and without psychiatric disorders. The projects focus on the roles of hormones and genes in the understanding of sex differences in brain circuitry implicated in psychiatric disorders, disorders of aging in the brain, and their comorbidity with general medical disorders.


The CRC will work within the Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory of Sex Differences in the Brain, part of the Innovation Center on Sex Differences in Medicine. One of our foci is to investigate early risk factors for sex differences in psychiatric disorders focusing on the roles of hormones, genes, and inflammatory factors in understanding sex effects in depression and its comorbidity with cardiometabolic outcomes. We conduct structural and functional brain imaging studies, combined with neuroendocrine evaluations, psychophysiology, and genetics. We work within a team approach. A key element of this position involves contact with human research participants (adults in midlife), so candidates should enjoy and feel comfortable interacting with various populations.

We have an extensive training program and continuous supervision.
