Research Support Coordinator Position in the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program at the University of Miami

We are looking to hire a new full-time postbaccalaureate research support coordinator to assist with all aspects of recruitment and retention efforts here in the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami, directed by Jill Ehrenreich-May, Ph.D. This person will help manage our in-house projects related to the study of the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatments of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents. More information about our lab can be found here: www.miami.edu/childanxiety.

Who would be appropriate for this position?: We are hoping to find an outstanding college senior that is a self-starter, highly intelligent, interpersonally skilled, academically motivated, supremely organized and ready for this postbaccalaureate role upon graduating (anticipated start date is August 5, 2019). This person would be willing to learn how to screen families of children and adolescents with emotional disorders by phone and in person for our projects, help with chart and protocol auditing, assist with database management, undergraduate personnel, and exposure therapy for youth or other therapeutic elements as needed. Excellent writing skills and very good time-management would be particularly valued. Someone who is calm and thoughtful in the face of challenges would also be preferred. Although not required, we particularly encourage applications from individuals who are bilingual in English and Spanish.

Requirements: (1) Move to Miami! Soak up the sunshine, the beaches and a very friendly work environment. (2) Commit to working with us for two-years. (3) Be ready to present some posters, and collaborate in writing up some manuscripts. We have data on cool treatments for kids! You are welcome to utilize it, learn from it and help us make those treatments even better and more available to others who can use them. (3) Be eligible to be hired as an employee of the University of Miami (our Human Resources controls this, not us personally - here are some details to review: https://www.hr.miami.edu/working-at-the-u/index.html). (4) Bring something new to the job. We admire and respect diversity in all forms. We hope to add to our team with someone that will bring new, fresh perspectives and life experiences to the position.

How do I apply? (1) Send your CV, an email stating your interest and at least 2 reference letters to anxietylab@psy.miami.edu. (2) Select candidates will be contacted with more details. (3) Please submit materials by April 30, 2019 for full consideration, although we will consider applicants after this date as needed until the position is filled.

I have more questions! No problem. Please feel free to contact Dr. Jill Ehrenreich-May, Director of the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami at j.ehrenreich@miami.edu with any questions or initial inquiries about the job.
