Research Coordinator Positions
Two Clinical Research Coordinator Associate (CRCA) positions are currently available
**These positions are NOT affected by the
Stanford Hiring Freeze.**
The Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness (PMHW) within the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Science is focused on developing precision medicine approaches for mental health, spanning mood, anxiety, and attention disorders. Our research is centered on the goal of developing new brain-based classifications that inform an understanding of the individual and subsequent treatment selection.
PMHW is seeking a motivated and experienced Clinical Research Coordinator Associate in Precision Psychiatry and Neuroimaging to execute precision medicine in mental health studies. The Clinical Research Coordinator Associate in Precision Psychiatry and Neuroimaging will have the opportunity to make innovative contributions to the rapidly emerging field of precision medicine in mental health. The position will be based within the Center’s Personalized and Translational Neuroscience lab (PanLab) and will be fully in-person.
The PanLab genuinely believes “Neuroscience is Personal.” Our ethos is collaborative and one that believes quality science goes hand in hand with mutual respect (More information on our lab values can be found here). If this resonates with you, we highly encourage you to apply.​
​
The PanLab is a precision psychiatry and clinical translational neuroscience research group that aims to use brain imaging approaches to improve our understanding and treatment of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.​
CRCA (ACE-D)
The focus of the Clinical Research Coordinator Associate (CRCA) position is on a precision medicine study of depression funded by NIH under an exciting clinical translational program called IMPACT-MH (‘Individually measured phenotypes to advance computational translation in mental health'). The study assesses cognitive and related emotional functions using functional MRI and behavioral measures in a longitudinal design and a personalized treatment design.
​
The CRCA would perform duties involved with the recruitment of participants with depression, implementing functional MRI, behavioral, and questionnaire assessments, and following up participants over time. These activities require clearly explaining study procedures to participants and integrating technical skills such as functional MRI acquisition with participant interaction skills. The CRCA will also contribute to data processing and have accountability for coordinating study schedules and meeting study milestones. This position is fully in-person.
​
The CRCA will work in a collaborative team, reporting to project coordinators and demonstrating responsibility to meet deadlines, anticipate project needs, and communicate with project collaborators. The position will be based in a lab that values cooperation, fairness, efficiency, and conscientiousness.
CRCA (Clinic Project)
The CRCA would perform duties involved with data processing, as well as the recruitment and assessment of study subjects. Specifically, the focus of the Clinical Research Coordinator Associate will be to lead ongoing therapeutic treatment studies that match fMRI-based biotypes to personalized treatments, and use fMRI to understand the brain basis of responses to new exploratory treatments.
The Clinical Research Coordinator Associate will schedule testing sessions, perform subject testing using functional neuroimaging along with symptom and behavioral assessments. Study subjects will include people experiencing depression and associated conditions such as anxiety and PTSD.
The Clinical Research Coordinator Associate must also be able to clearly explain the study procedures to subjects. The position requires a strong sense of accountability for implementing research activities, including meeting project deadlines, communicating with project collaborators off-site, and training other staff as needed.
The position will be based in a lab that values cooperation, fairness, efficiency, and conscientiousness.
