Social/Clinical Research Assistant
About The Position
This position will serve as an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator for the Child and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program (CHAAMP), situated within the UNC School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry. The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator assists with the execution of study protocols, including screening and recruiting study participants, conducting study visits, and collecting, entering, and reviewing study data. The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will support one or more newly funded research projects focused on youth and young adult mental health. These projects include: (1) a community-engaged planning project to improve youth mental health in Eastern NC, which aims to partner with community members to identify local mental health needs, priorities, and culturally responsive strategies to support youth and families. Key activities for this project include coordinating a community advisory board and conducting focus groups with stakeholders such as youth, caregivers, educators, coaches, faith leaders, and community representatives. (2) a multi-method longitudinal study examining generative AI use and cognitive mechanisms in psychosis risk, which investigates how young adults with psychosis or psychotic-like experiences use AI tools for mental health-related purposes and how these interactions relate to symptoms, coping, and functioning over time. This project uses a multi-method longitudinal design, including remote recruitment, semi-structured interviews, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA). The Child and Adolescent Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program (CHAAMP), supported by The Foundation of Hope, is a multidisciplinary research program focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders in youth. CHAAMP’s mission is to transform how mental health challenges in children and adolescents are predicted, prevented, and intervened upon, seeking to improve access to effective, evidence-based care and address the growing youth mental health crisis through innovative research and strong community partnerships.
