If you're passionate about making an impact in clinical research and want to be part of a collaborative, mission-driven organization, we'd love to have you on our team.
Job Role
Adams Clinical is a rapidly growing research site network specializing focused on late phase industry-sponsored trials of novel treatments for a variety of psychiatric and neurological conditions.
We are seeking a per diem Psychedelic Dosing Monitor/Therapist for exciting clinical trials focused on psychedelic research for individuals with depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders at one or more of our research site locations. Willingness to travel between regional sites is a plus but not required (Watertown and Boston; Harlem and Bronx).
Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as Lead Study Therapist in psychedelic clinical trials for depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
  • Complete study-sponsored therapist training, and Adams Clinical site-specific training requirements.
  • Provide support to participants throughout the clinical trial in alignment with the study protocol and training guidelines.
  • Collaborate with clinicians and site staff managing participant participation in the study.

Qualifications
  • Licensed mental health professional in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, or Texas (e.g., PsyD, PhD, LCSW, LMSW, LMHC, LMFT), with the ability to provide psychotherapy in compliance with state regulations
  • Attention to detail is critical for this role to ensure accurate observation, documentation, and reporting of dosing sessions, with strict adherence to ICH-GCP standards and protocol requirements.
  • Experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with an interest in advancing mental health care in a clinical research setting.
  • Ability to meet fixed scheduling expectations, including consistent on-site availability.
  • Final candidate must be approved by both Adams Clinical and the study sponsor.

Commitments
  • This is a per diem, as-needed position, with work hours based on study enrollment, participant availability, and trial timelines.
  • Therapists should anticipate approximately 2-3 days per week of direct participant-facing responsibilities. These include pre-dose preparation, real-time monitoring during psychedelic dosing sessions, and post-dose follow up sessions. The exact schedule will vary based on study volume, participant availability, and internal scheduling priorities.
  • Flexibility and responsiveness to shifting scheduling needs are essential.
  • A majority of the participant appointments must be conducted in person at our research site locations, and a portion can be conducted remotely by the therapist
  • Therapists must be willing to learn and adhere to ICH-GCP standards.
  • Additional responsibilities include administrative tasks, onboard, and study-related training, as well as other tasks assigned.

Pay: $60.00 - $70.00 per hour
Benefits:
  • 401(k) / 401(k) matching
