Join Our Team

Hiring two Full-Time Clinical Research Assistants!

We are looking for a highly motivated student to come join our team in mid-August to early September. This opportunity is an especially good match for someone who is:

1. Looking to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology
2. Passionate about psychotherapy research
3. Interested in community-based research

We are hiring for two grants currently awarded to the Center for Psychotherapy. One position is for a newly foundation-funded grant examining the effectiveness of measurement-based feedback reports in outpatient psychiatry clinics. This project will examine the use of a web-based "dashboard" that uses linguistic patterns from patient electronic communications (text, email, social media) t provide feedback to clinicians and enhance psychotherapy outcomes. The other position is for a state-funded grant that provides telehealth psychiatric services to older adults in rural, low-income communities. Research assistants will work under Dr. Connolly Gibbons to organize, analyze, and conduct research.

We aim to provide our assistants with a broad range of responsibilities to expose them to all steps of the research process in preparation for the pursuit of a PhD. Duties include preparing study materials, coordinating study-related IRB paperwork, conducting data analyses, assisting with manuscript preparation, coordinating and conducting assessments, and more!

Some unique opportunities with this position include:

• Conducting and coordinating a grant-funded protocol
• Contributing to multiple research teams through various partnerships
• Supervising undergraduate students
• Independent work environment
• Attending and presenting at conferences
• Exposure to clinical populations
• Contributing to grant applications
• Presentations and publications

Qualifications for these positions include:

• Undergraduate psychology degree (you must be holding a BA or BS in psychology or a related field by the time you start)
• Interest in pursuing graduate education in clinical psychology
• Ability to work independently, be detail oriented, and communicate efficiently
• Proficient knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word
• Knowledge of SPSS
