The Rhode Island Methods to
Improve Diagnostic Assessment and Services (MIDAS) project is looking to hire a
research assistant (RA), with a potential start date of January/February 2019
or May/June 2019. Candidates should be a recent or upcoming college graduate
with a psychology or neuroscience major and an interest in going to graduate or
medical school. In the Rhode Island Hospital outpatient psychiatry and partial hospital
practices, we have integrated research assessments into clinical practice. The
MIDAS project is one of the largest clinical epidemiological studies using
semi-structured diagnostic interviews ever conducted, and we have published
more than 200 papers from our database. The RA will be trained in conducting
diagnostic interviews and writing clinical reports. The RA will also be
responsible for managing databases and entering data, submitting IRB
applications, recruiting participants, and conducting other tasks associated
with various ongoing assessment and treatment research projects in the
outpatient and partial hospital practices. Opportunities are available (and
encouraged) for presenting research at national meetings and writing
manuscripts for publication. Prior research assistants have published papers as
first authors and have been successful at getting into top level graduate and
medical schools.
Please send applications (cover
letter and CV) to Ms. Deb Lemieux at dlemieux@lifespan.org. For additional information or questions about the
position, please contact Mark Zimmerman, M.D. (mzimmerman@lifespan.org).
