About The Position

The MGB Center for Health Outcomes and Interdisciplinary Research (CHOIR) in the Department of Psychiatry is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC). CHOIR conducts clinical research and develops and tests psychosocial interventions in various settings. The CRC will work primarily with Dr. Jonathan Greenberg’s team on an NIH-funded study testing a four-week, live-video mind-body intervention intended to help prevent chronic concussion symptoms among young adults with co-occurring anxiety. The intervention teaches skills such as mindfulness, deep breathing, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychoeducation. The coordinator may also support other research projects as needed. This is a mentored position offering research experience in clinical psychology, psychosocial determinants of health, mind-body treatment, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The role may suit candidates planning to apply to graduate school in clinical psychology, public health, social work, or medical school. Faculty and departmental support is available for graduate-school applications, and the position may provide opportunities for co-authorship and research presentations. The CRC collaborates with research team members, faculty, and staff, while also working independently and taking initiative. The role requires dynamically managing priorities because of time-sensitive project deadlines. The position is hybrid, with in-person work required four out of five days per week. Hours are typically 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., though some work may occasionally take place in the evening or on weekends to accommodate patient scheduling.
