The Department of Psychiatry has an opening for a full-time Clinical Research Assistant I in the Neuroscience of Risk and Development (NeRD) Laboratory at Boston Children’s Hospital. The NeRD lab uses a developmental framework to identify risk markers for, and biological mechanisms that underlie, severe psychiatric disorders. In this position, the Clinical Research Assistant I will contribute to the day-to-day research activities as part of a NIH-funded multi-site U01 study that the Principal Investigator (Maria Jalbrzikowski, PhD) is leading with other co-investigators. Together, the study sites make up the Pediatric Precision Sleep Network, which seeks to identify clinically relevant sleep signatures that predispose youth to future mental health risks and develop predictive models based on these clinical signatures to inform screening and risk stratification in primary care settings. The Clinical Research Assistant I will also assist with running additional, ongoing studies being conducted in the laboratory.
