Requirements

PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology
PsyD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology
LCSW
LMSW
LMHC
Masters in a mental health related field.
Minimum 2 years of direct clinical experience, including diagnostic evaluations, administering assessments, and patient care in psychiatry or related settings.
Experience conducting differential diagnoses is strongly preferred.
Experience with substance use disorders is a plus.
Prior exposure to clinical trials or neuropsychological assessments is a plus; training will be provided.
This role is not suited for recent graduates without prior clinical experience or for clinicians who are seeking roles providing direct therapy.
Quick, sound clinical judgment. Able to build an accurate picture of someone's diagnostic history, symptom profile, and overall presentation in a single conversation, and confident making a defensible call on eligibility without weeks of data.
Natural rapport-builder. Able to put participants/patients at ease during what can be a vulnerable first conversation, read the room in real time, and adjust approach to the person in front of you.
Persuasive and confident. Once eligibility is established, able to shift gears and make a compelling, honest case for why the study is a good fit for the candidate and securing genuine buy-in.
High-capacity multitasker. Able to hold a lot in mind at once — the patient's clinical picture, multiple protocols' inclusion and exclusion criteria, site and network priorities, scheduling logistics, and the candidate's comfort level — and synthesize it all under time pressure.
Creative and flexible problem-solver. Can think expansively about where a candidate might fit, exploring every protocol they could qualify for without ruling someone out prematurely.

Responsibilities

Conduct clinical intake interviews with prospective participants to assess psychiatric and medical history, current symptom presentation, and overall clinical picture.
Evaluate candidacy against the inclusion and exclusion criteria of multiple concurrently enrolling protocols, identifying the strongest fit and documenting the clinical rationale.
Present the study to eligible candidates in a clear and compelling way, addressing questions and concerns and securing informed, enthusiastic buy-in.
Move eligible participants into screening — completing the informed consent process on the spot wherever possible, and owning the follow-up for those who can't.
Track and follow up on candidates who require additional records, coordination, or time before a screening decision can be made, so that no eligible participant falls through the cracks.
Partner closely with enrollment leads to prioritize across studies as timelines, criteria, and site needs shift, ensuring the right candidates are matched to the right trials.
Contribute to site and network screening and enrollment goals, and maintain accurate documentation of all assessments and eligibility determinations.
