The
EDAPT Clinic and Translational Cognitive and Affective (TCAN) Laboratory have
complementary goals to clinically intervene as early as possible and study the
neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic illness. The TCAN lab
is recruiting for two positions to serve as junior specialists at the UC Davis
Medical Center. The incumbent will be responsible for many aspects of the
research study. The incumbent will be trained to use knowledge of mental health
conditions to conduct phone evaluations to determine study eligibility of
potential participants. The incumbent will also consent study participants and
schedule all of their research appointments. The incumbent will conduct
clinical interviews for research purposes under the supervision of a faculty
member and will conduct behavioral testing sessions. The incumbent will manage
the study IRB protocols, adhering strictly to privacy and confidentiality laws.
The incumbent will also manage data collection and organization, including
mentoring undergraduate volunteers in the input of data to multiple databases.
Furthermore, the incumbent will be expected to actively participate in weekly
lab meetings, journal club presentations, presentations from outside speakers,
and weekly workshops to help junior specialists develop their career goals.
The
current study will be entering a new piloting phase starting Fall 2017, which
will allow the incumbent to meaningfully contribute to Phase 2 study design and
revisions. Depending on their contribution and role in the lab, the incumbent
may have the opportunity assist in study design and analysis as well as writing
and review of relevant manuscripts. Furthermore, the incumbent may have the
opportunity to creatively contribute to the research project by proposing
alternative analysis strategies, generate novel projects with existing data,
review literature for manuscript preparation, and the ability to submit data
for presentation relevant conferences, such as Society of Biological Psychiatry
or Society for Neuroscience (if funding is available). The incumbent will be
actively and significantly involved in publishable research activities,
including reviewing journal articles and engaging in discussions on research
and the interpretation of research results with PI and others in the lab. The
incumbent will also participate in one or more of the following activities:
appropriate professional/technical societies or groups such as our weekly
career development group and other educational and research organizations; and
review research proposals, journal manuscripts, and publications related to
area of expertise. The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal,
communication, and decision-making skills; as well as the ability to work well
independently and as part of a team.
