What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Research Coordinator I - Center for Genomic Medicine position at Mass General Brigham?
Site: The General Hospital Corporation
At Mass General Brigham, we know it takes a surprising range of talented professionals to advance our mission—from doctors, nurses, business people and tech experts, to dedicated researchers and systems analysts. As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community. We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.
At Mass General Brigham, we believe a diverse set of backgrounds and lived experiences makes us stronger by challenging our assumptions with new perspectives that can drive revolutionary discoveries in medical innovations in research and patient care. Therefore, we invite and welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in healthcare — people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ community, and/or gender expansive, first and second-generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds – to apply.
Job Summary
The Doyle Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our research group. The PI, Alysa Doyle PhD, is a clinical psychologist in the MGH Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit who holds faculty appointments in the Department of Psychiatry and the Center for Genomic Medicine.
Work in the lab integrates clinical psychology, developmental psychopathology, pediatric neuropsychology, and psychiatric genetics. Current studies investigate the risk mechanisms underlying the development of neuropsychiatric illness across the lifespan and factors that mitigate and exacerbate that risk. We are particularly interested in the roles that genetics and cognition play in youth outcomes and how information related to these factors can be leveraged in the child psychiatric setting. Ultimately, this work is intended to improve the long-term outcomes of children and adolescents with or at risk for neuropsychiatric illness, including ADHD and mood disorders.
We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a Clinical Research Coordinator I position beginning in June or July of 2025. Ideally, applicants will have a BA in psychology or a related field.
The position involves a range of tasks to support our clinical research projects, including both participant-facing and administrative tasks: participant recruitment and assessment (with cognitive tests and structured diagnostic interviews), literature reviews, assistance with grant and IRB submissions, data coding and entry, and manuscript writing and preparation. CRCs typically earn co-authorship on empirical papers and present posters at local and/or national meetings. The position may require occasional evening and weekend hours for study visits. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology or a related professional field.
Applicants should include a cover letter and resume/CV.
