Postdoc & RA positions at Mass General Hospital/Harvard Medical School
25 Oct 2023
We are currently looking to hire a post-doctoral research fellow and 2-4 full-time clinical research coordinators (start date summer 2024) to join us at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and assist with NIMH- and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-funded studies aimed at improving short-term risk prediction for suicidal behavior in adolescents. Studies assessing proximal risk for suicidal behavior use computational methods to model neurocognitive markers and/or ambulatory indices (i.e., mobile technology including actigraphy, passive sensing of physiological arousal, passive sensing of social engagement and physical activity, and ecological momentary assessment) in psychiatrically hospitalized youth (see RF1MH120830, R01MH124899, R01MH115905, K23MH126168).
Additional studies focus on employing computer vision to identify visual indicators of suicide risk among adolescents (R21MH127231, YIG-1-020-20). An additional study aims to examine how parent-child stress interactions may be associated with or protect against suicide risk in adolescents using automatic sensing of acoustic and visual behaviors (R21MH130767). Our most recently funded NIMH study NIMH aims to develop machine learning algorithms with electronic health record data for the prospective prediction of suicide risk among racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority youth.
The post-doctoral research fellow and research coordinators will work under the mentorship of Dr. Richard Liu and Dr. Taylor Burke at Massachusetts General Hospital. The research coordinator positions are particularly well suited for individuals seeking to gain research and clinical experience prior to graduate or medical school.
More information on post-doctoral opportunities is provided here.
Clinical research coordinators who demonstrate potential and excel in this position often have opportunities to receive mentorship on conducting independent research projects and grant-writing. More details about these opportunities and a list of our RAs' 1st author papers and extramural grants from their time in our lab may be found here. Applications may be submitted here: https://www.moodandbehaviorlab.org/crc-application. Note that we will be putting out two separate calls for applications (once this fall and again in spring 2024) for CRCs to join us for summer 2024.
