GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
The candidate will serve as a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) in the Mass General Early Brain Development Initiative (EBDI), and will report to Dr. Joshua Roffman, director of EBDI. The coordinator will play a critical role in the quality control and analysis of data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, an NIH-funded effort to elucidate the influence of a variety of environmental and genetic factors on various psychopathologies from ADHD to SUD. The ABCD cohort is also one of the largest imaging cohorts and offers a unique opportunity to assess psychopathology and its risk and protective factors with data from many different levels. The coordinator will largely work with structural and functional MRI images via Freesurfer, focusing on improving the quality of images for analyses, which will target brain anatomical and functional correlates of psychopathology, environmental exposures, and genetics. Must be a diligent worker with a high attention to detail. There is also ample opportunity to design and explore research questions of your own using ABCD data and for crossover with other projects under the EBDI, such as the Brain health Begins Before Birth (B4) Study and the Prenatal Folic acid and Adolescent Brain development (PFAB) Study.
