The AI and Mental Health: Innovation in Technology Guided Healthcare (AIM HIGH) Laboratory at Dartmouth College is pleased to invite applications to join our exciting and supportive research team for the position of Research Coordinator. The Research Coordinator will play a key role in the Suicide Transmission Dynamics on Social Media study. This five-year, NIH-funded trial will use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and social media data from young adults to model the transmission of suicidal thoughts and behaviors on platforms like Twitter/X and Reddit. The objective is to build predictive models that can identify risk in real-time and lay the groundwork for developing scalable, ethically-grounded digital mental health interventions to prevent suicide.
The Research Coordinator (RC) will be an integral member of the team at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) at Dartmouth College and will work in close collaboration with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Nicholas Jacobson. The Research Coordinator will be responsible for assisting with the development of study materials (e.g., IRB materials, Manual of Procedures), coordinating participant recruitment and retention, obtaining participant consent, managing data collection, conducting data quality checks, assisting with manuscript preparation, and coordinating overall project operations. A key responsibility of this role is the active monitoring of incoming participant data for safety, which includes on-call availability for reviewing data, including on nights and weekends. The Research Coordinator will work primarily in an office setting in Lebanon, NH.
The successful candidate will excel in communication with study investigators, exhibit strong attention to detail, and possess exemplary organizational skills. The Research Coordinator will work effectively with study leadership and attend and present at meetings. There will be robust opportunities for the Research Coordinator to publish using lab data. This position is an excellent fit for individuals looking to gain experience with clinical populations, large-scale federally funded research, and/or digital therapeutics.
