The lab manager will support research on the initiation, escalation, and treatment of adolescent substance use. The lab manager will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the SUMMIT lab including the execution of a National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism study of adolescents and their caregivers who are participating in treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The lab manager will assist in grant submissions, IRB proposals, participant recruitment, and data management. There will also be opportunities to author/co-author publications and presentations.

Requirements include a Bachelor's degree (in psychology or a related field); and strong communication, organizational, interpersonal, and time management skills. Desired qualifications include prior experience working with adolescents, with real- time monitoring data collection (e.g., EMA, passive mobile sensing, wearable biosensors); clinical populations; and IRB protocol submissions. Strong quantitative and technical skills are also desirable, including experience with data cleaning and statistical analysis in R and/or Python. The values of the SUMMIT Lab include having an environment that embraces diversity, promotes equity, fosters inclusion, and cultivates a sense of belonging for all individuals. Each member of our team brings their unique identities, perspectives, and lived experiences, and we leverage these differences to conduct meaningful and impactful research.
