Summer: Pediatric Bipolar Disorders Program

The Pediatric Bipolar Disorders Program is looking for a student intern who will work closely with the study coordinators and Principal Investigators, Manpreet Singh, MD, MS and Kiki Chang, MD, for various research studies involving children with mood disorders. The ideal candidate is a student majoring in Psychology or Human Biology with an interest in research and psychopathology. Experience with Microsoft Excel is required as the student will have to do some data entry. Past experience working with children and adolescents would be a plus but not necessary. We ask for a commitment of at least 15-20 hours a week (and the rare weekend) from our summer research assistants and at least 5 hours a week during the academic year.  Academic credit offered/volunteer position.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, some data entry and clerical work, administering assessments (eg. IQ testing, neurocognitive tasks, etc.), and co-piloting MRI scans. Upon further training and education on our studies and psychiatric disorders, responsibilities will also include screening prospective participants over the phone, scheduling, and handling study visits on their own without a study coordinator. This position gives a unique opportunity to undergraduate students to work in a psychiatry research setting, work with participants directly, and sit in on therapy session or diagnostic interviews.

Please send a resume/CV and at least one paragraph stating your qualifications and the reasons why you’re interested for this position to Saloni Shah at salonis@stanford.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!
