Clinical Research Positions with Children's National

Children’s National Hospital leads autism research related to gender, 
executive function intervention and
transition to adulthood. We are seeking applications 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. Our positions offer intensive research, clinical, advocacy experience and publication opportunities for candidates interested in pursuing degrees in psychology or medicine. 

Responsibilities:
Responsibilities include managing and analyzing data, as well as administering psychological measurements. Opportunities to prepare grants and develop manuscripts are also provided. Our multidisciplinary faculty members, including Lauren Kenworthy, John Strang, Allison Ratto and Alan Gerber, work closely with research coordinators, providing supervision on individual projects and mentorship toward career goals. 

Qualifications:
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 and English) applicants. A 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.
