Position Summary

We are seeking a motivated individual to serve as a full-time Professional Rater. Half of this position will focus on working on the the newly funded ADAPT initiative (Aligning Discoveries Across Psychedelic Therapies), a major research effort focused initially on establishing validated approaches and methods to reliably measure biological effects using MRI in the exciting and emerging field of psychedelic medicine (https://adaptroadmap.org).

The position will work closely with research participants and study staff, playing an important role in supporting high-quality data collection and ensuring smooth study operations.
