  The EPIC Brain Lab at the MGH Center for Precision Psychiatry, led by PI Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli, is seeking a full-time Clinical Research Coordinators (CRC).
  
  The primary mission of the EPIC Brain Lab is to understand the brain basis of psychiatric disorders and to promote translation of this knowledge into clinical practice. We employ multimodal neuroimaging techniques to investigate the pathophysiology of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, autism and ADHD. We focus on early detection, precision psychiatry, innovative treatments, and causal mechanisms. Each facet addresses a different critical barrier, and promotes a better understanding of clinical disorders and their treatments.
  
  As a part of Dr. Whitfield-Gabrieli’s lab, the candidate will be a part of a richly collaborative environment, with the opportunity to work on multiple projects with various participant populations including adolescents with depression and adults with borderline personality disorder. The primary project will be for an NIH-funded project studying the effect of mindfulness with real-time neurofeedback in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis.
  
  This project employs MRI, mindfulness, and various clinical and behavioral assessments. Participants will be taught a mindfulness noting practice which they will be asked to employ in the MRI scanner. While in the scanner doing the noting practice, participants will receive real-time neurofeedback based on their own brain data. The candidate will primarily help with data collection, with the opportunity for data analysis.
