Job Summary

The Massachusetts General Hospital Center of Excellence (COE) for Psychosocial and Systemic Research is hiring a clinical research coordinator (CRC) I to oversee the coordination and management of several research and quality improvement projects. The COE aims to improve the lives of people with mental health challenges through research, evaluation, and implementation of projects focused on physical, emotional, and social aspects of health.

In this position, the CRC I will work under the supervision of Principal Investigators (PIs; COE faculty and post-doctoral fellows) to assist with the preparation of study materials including Institutional Review Board materials, participant recruitment materials, instruments, and REDCap databases. The CRC I will also conduct phone screens, schedule participants, assist with in-person and virtual, quantitative and qualitative data collection in community settings, and support participant remuneration. The CRC will also be trained to assist in data preparation and curation, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, and systematic literature reviews. They will participate in the preparation and presentation of posters and manuscripts, and receive mentorship and professional development from PIs. They will be involved in collaborations with our Peer Consultants, who are persons with lived experience of mental health challenges.

The partnerships we have with peers as well as community entities highlight the importance of inclusion, and we rely on diverse experiences to help inform our research agenda. As such, experience and/or interest in working with underrepresented groups is required. Experience with project management and/or quantitative and/or qualitative data analysis is preferred. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, the COE recognizes the power of a diverse community and encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds.
