Research Coordinator Positions with Children's National Center for Autism

Children’s National Hospital leads autism research related to gender, executive function intervention and transition to adulthood. Applications are being requested from aspiring clinical researchers (and clinicians) who are committed to cutting-edge work using community-based, neurodiversity affirming, qualitative, and neuroimaging (EEG/ERP, fMRI) methods to improve quality of life for autistic people.
 
Description:     
The positions offer intensive research, clinical, and advocacy experience. Publication opportunities for candidates interested in pursuing degrees in psychology or medicine are available. Opportunities to prepare grants and develop manuscripts are also provided. Our multidisciplinary faculty members work closely with research coordinators, providing supervision on individual projects and mentorship toward career goals.

Qualifications/Requirements: 
A Bachelor’s degree is required. A strong background in psychology, biology, and/or health sciences is preferred, as is prior experience with research, statistics, and neurodivergent youth. We encourage bilingual (Spanish/English) applicants. Hybrid schedule is available; however, a car is necessary to reach multiple work locations. Multiple positions may be available. Applications are being accepted for immediate start dates.
