From Stanford University's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) support, conduct, coordinate or manage the clinical research studies or trials on human subjects. Principal and co-investigators provide the overall direction in a clinical study, but CRCs can have significant roles in clinical study activities.
Stanford University is seeking a full-time Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator (ACRC). The primary focus will be to assist with multiple NIH-funded projects to develop more personalized TMS treatments for depression. We have found an EEG biomarker that predicts treatment outcome to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in depressed patients. Using machine learning, our projects seek to maximize this EEG biomarker and improve the efficacy of this treatment.
The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with engineers, clinicians (neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons), and statisticians both within Stanford as well as outside institutions. The candidate must be organized, enjoy problem solving, be a team player and have strong communication skills. This is an opportunity for a highly motivated and reliable person to participate in a fast-paced, collaborative and challenging team.
The ideal candidate would be willing to accept the position for 2 years, although a shorter time frame may be an option. This position will provide valuable experience in both clinical and basic research, as well as clinical exposure, which makes it an excellent opportunity interested in pursuing an MD, PhD, or both. Previous candidates have matriculated to highly competitive graduate and medical school positions.
Duties Include:
Our goal is to understand the fundamental principles of human brain plasticity and build trans-diagnostic real-time monitoring platforms for personalized therapeutics.
We use an array of neuroscience methods to better understand the basic principles of how to create change in brain circuits. We use this knowledge to develop more effective treatment strategies for depression and other psychiatric disorders.
Mental health is central to our well-being, our relationships, and to society. Unfortunately, mental healthcare is often applied in a one-size-fits-all manner, cycling through multiple treatments without reference to one’s biology as a guide, leading to reduced efficacy.
Through scientific and ethical rigor we seek to better understand the fundamental principles and develop new tools to quantify 1) how brain circuits interact, 2) how treatments change these brain circuits, and 3) how these changes map onto clinical symptoms. A deep knowledge of these will reduce the stigma around mental health and translate to targeted, personalized, and more effective treatments.
The goal of our laboratory is thus to develop an environment conducive to team-based learning in order to train the next generation of clinically-informed circuit neuroscientists. We will be recognized for questioning the status quo with rigorous scientific experiments and will make important scientific contributions in understanding how brain stimulation alters neural circuits and behavior.
