Additional Job Details (if applicable)

The Ressler Lab in McLean's Depression & Anxiety Division seeks to advance what is known about the brain, behavior, and symptom mechanisms underlying adult mental health conditions, including suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

The Neurobiology of Fear lab at McLean and Center for Suicide Research and Prevention at MGB/Harvard is seeking applications for 1 full-time Clinical Research Assistant (CRA) to coordinate and administer an NIMH-funded project (led by PIs Dr. Kerry Ressler and Dr. Rebecca Fortgang) aimed at using mobile devices to understand, predict, and intervene to prevent suicidal behavior among adults recently hospitalized on a psychiatric inpatient unit. This position is particularly well-suited for anyone interested in pursuing graduate study in the fields of psychology, public health, or medicine.

The Clinical Research Assistant will be primarily responsible for recruitment and follow-up of participants in two studies that recruit across multiple hospital-based inpatient units within McLean hospital and Mass General Brigham (MGB). These projects take place within or are affiliated with the newly established Center for Suicide Research and Prevention at MGB/Harvard. Given the responsibilities of interacting with clinically severe/suicidal patients, hospital clinical staff, and supervising undergraduate and volunteer research assistants, strong interpersonal and organizational skills are essential. The role also requires a high level of initiative, autonomy, and follow-through; the successful candidate will be expected to manage responsibilities independently, proactively identify and address challenges, and seek out solutions and resources as needed. Experience working with clinically severe/suicidal patients and experience serving as a research assistant are strongly preferred. Writing, computer skills (e.g., proficiency with ecological momentary assessment [EMA; e.g., MetricWire platform] and/or statistical software [e.g., R]), and supervisory experience are highly desirable.
