Full-Time Study Manager - Cincinnati Children's Hospital
The Center for ADHD at Cincinnati Children's Hospital is looking for a full-time Master's level (or equivalent years with research coordination experience) study manager. The study manager will primarily work with the principal investigator (Stephen Becker, PhD) on a new R01 research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH; pending). The study will use a prospective longitudinal design across early adolescence to examine sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms as a predictor of internalizing outcomes (depression, anxiety, suicidality). Using a developmental psychopathology framework, this study will incorporate physiological assessment and behavioral tasks in addition to information collected from adolescents, parents, and teachers.
We are looking for an experienced research coordinator to work with the PI to manage the study, including participating in study activities including recruitment, scheduling, assessments (including diagnostic assessments, IQ testing, and physiological assessment), data management, regulatory documentation, and oversight of research coordinators and undergraduate research assistants. The right person will demonstrate a high level of initiative and independence, flexibility, and have experience in research coordinator activities. Previous clinical training (e.g., Master’s in clinical or counseling psychology) would also be highly desirable. A minimum of two-year commitment is required, with opportunity for additional years of employment. Applicants of diverse and underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
The study manager will also be exposed to and involved with other studies in the Center for ADHD. Ongoing studies at the Center for ADHD include:
• Longitudinal study of children with and without sluggish cognitive tempo and impact on educational and socio-emotional functioning
• Longitudinal study examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents with and without ADHD
• Studies evaluating executive function and homework/organization interventions in middle school students with autism spectrum disorder
• Studies evaluating online software to improve the assessment and treatment of children with ADHD
Other research and clinical opportunities:
• Monthly didactic focused on ADHD-related research and clinical issues
• Participate in the preparation of conference presentations
