Clinical Research Coordinator A (Neuropsychiatry)
Ted Satterthwaite, MD, MA, and the PennLINC Laboratory -- Lifespan Informatics & Neuroimaging Center (https://www.pennlinc.io/) are recruiting a Clinical Research Coordinator to help investigators conduct behavioral and multi-modal neuroimaging research examining both normal and abnormal brain development.
Psychiatric disorders are increasingly understood as disorders of brain development, and our research seeks to situate mental illness in a developmental context. To do this, we use advanced multi-modal MRI imaging and detailed measures of cognition and clinical symptomatology. The position will draw on a wide range of skills and provide learning opportunities in diverse areas. Responsibilities will include assisting with recruitment and acquisition of data for behavioral and multi-modal MRI data, cognitive assessment of both healthy children and those with psychiatric disorders, image analysis, maintenance of regulatory documents, and correspondence.
Position includes substantial direct interaction with faculty; opportunities for data analysis, poster presentations, and writing manuscripts abound, making it ideal for those preparing for highly competitive graduate programs. Position is contingent on continued funding; ideal start date is Spring 2022.
