The Center for Suicide Research and Prevention at MGB/Harvard is seeking applications for a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to coordinate and administer NIMH-funded projects (led by PIs Drs. Kate Bentley, Rebecca Fortgang, and Matthew Nock) aimed at better understanding short-term suicide risk and testing innovative new interventions to prevent suicidal behavior. The target population is adults leaving inpatient hospitalization for suicide risk. This position is particularly well-suited for anyone interested in pursuing graduate study in the fields of psychology, public health, or medicine.

The CRCs will be assisting with many aspects of the day-to-day execution of the projects, including study start-up, participant recruitment and screening, organization of study measures and protocols, organization of regulatory logs, purchasing of study supplies, coordinating study documentation, assisting with IRB/sIRB correspondence, and other project-related administrative tasks.

The CRCs may also work with collaborating teams to update and refine intervention content, as well as internally piloting the technology-assisted interventions, and data monitoring, as directed by Dr. Bentley. The CRCs may also assist with summarizing and coding qualitative and EHR data from participants.

Experience working with clinically severe/suicidal patients and strong interpersonal skills are strongly preferred. Writing, computer skills (e.g., proficiency with ecological momentary assessment and/or statistical software), and supervisory experience are highly desirable.
