Job DescriptionClinical Research Coordinator - Digital Mental Health ResearchLocation: Hybrid - Cambridge, MA
Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $70,000-$100,000
About the RoleDeliberate is looking for a Clinical Research Coordinator to join our clinical research team. This is a hands-on opportunity to work at the intersection of clinical research operations and technology - running the day-to-day administration that keeps our studies on track while gaining direct exposure to AI-driven digital mental health assessment, biomarker research, and clinical trials designed for both scientific rigor and real-world impact.
This role directly supports federally funded research projects developing and validating AI-driven mental health biomarkers - work that sits at the leading edge of how mental health conditions are measured and assessed. You'll be the connective tissue across multiple studies and sites: the person who knows exactly where every participant stands and when every assessment and every report is due. You'll work alongside academic and industry leaders in mental health in a fast-moving start-up environment where your organization and follow-through directly shape the quality of the data behind these tools.
What You'll Do- Own day-to-day research administration across multiple concurrent studies and sites
- Track recruitment and enrollment numbers across studies and sites, flagging gaps or delays early
- Track when each participant is due for study assessments and proactively schedule those assessments with clinical interviewers/raters
- Track milestones, reports, and updates owed to IRBs and funding agencies, and ensure materials are prepared and submitted on time
- Serve as the primary point of contact for research participants throughout the life of a study
- Build rapport with participants and support retention across multi-year, longitudinal studies
- Collect, organize, and enter research data into study databases and tracking systems
- Assist in the design and development of participant tracking systems and databases
- Provide administrative and coordination support, including scheduling and correspondence across the research team, participants, and sites
- Assemble and distribute research tools and devices (e.g. biomarker collection kits, wearables, etc) to sites and participants.
- Ensure compliance with all institutional, state, and federal regulations throughout each study
What You'll Need- Bachelor's degree required; a background in psychology, public health, biology, or a related field is a plus
- Experience coordinating clinical research studies, ideally across multiple sites is preferred - though we will also consider candidates with similar experience coordinating, scheduling appointments, and tracking progress from other non-research related fields (e.g., clinical care, sales team coordination, etc)
- Comfort managing many concurrent deadlines and priorities without letting details slip
- Outstanding organizational skills and attention to detail
- Strong interpersonal skills and genuine warmth - you'll be the steady, familiar voice participants hear across a multi-year study
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Computer literacy, including Google Workspace; experience with research databases, electronic data capture (e.g., REDCap) systems a plus
- Interest in working in a fast-paced technology start-up environment
What We Offer- Salary range of $70,000-$100,000, commensurate with experience
- Direct exposure to and collaboration with licensed faculty and the clinical assessment team
- Hands-on experience with AI-driven digital mental health assessment and biomarker research
- The opportunity to work closely with academic and business leaders shaping the future of digital mental health
- Flexible, hybrid work schedule with the opportunity to either work primarily from home or office depending on your preference
- Benefits package including health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
