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 May/June 2020. 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).
