Ted Satterthwaite and the Penn Lifespan Informatics and Neuroimaging Center () are recruiting a Clinical Research Coordinator to help investigators conduct behavioral and multi-modal neuroimaging research examining both normal and abnormal brain development. Psychiatric disorders are increasingly understood as disorders of brain development, and our research seeks to situate mental illness in a developmental context. To do this, we use advanced multi-modal MRI imaging (functional, structural, metabolic) and detailed measures of behavior using digital phenotyping via smartphones.

The position will draw on a wide range of skills and provide learning opportunities in diverse areas. Responsibilities will include assisting with: recruitment and acquisition of data for behavioral and multi-modal MRI data; image analysis; maintenance of regulatory documents and correspondence. Opportunities for data analysis and writing manuscripts abound. Previous lab members in this role have published first-author manuscripts in top journals and gone on to top graduate programs in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine.

Position is contingent on continued funding.
