Position Summary
This full-time position is part of a PCORI-funded study comparing brief interventions (Safety Planning Intervention plus follow-up contact vs. ultra-brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents, crisis version) with youth aged 12-19 presenting to the emergency department for suicidal ideation and behavior.
The candidate must be comfortable interacting with diverse suicidal youth and their families in a fast-paced emergency setting (with training and supervision); the ideal candidate will have some clinical experience working with adolescents and/or in crisis settings. Candidates must be highly organized and detail-oriented, as they will be responsible for collecting and managing data from a complex, multi-site longitudinal clinical trial; the ideal candidate will have prior experience coordinating clinical trials.
The research coordinator will assist the Principal Investigator, Laura Mufson, PhD, and Columbia PCORI team in all aspects of study coordination, including: recruitment; obtaining informed consent/assent; randomization; conducting baseline and follow-up assessments; data collection, analysis, and management; maintaining ongoing contact with participants and their families throughout the study period; and facilitating engagement/information exchange between participants and the study team. The research coordinator will assist the PI with all day-to-day study activities, including supporting the development of IRB applications, renewals, and amendments; completing project compliance and reporting requirements; logistical activities (e.g., scheduling meetings, purchasing supplies); and maintaining continual good communication, both within the Columbia PCORI team and between external collaborators/sites.
