Clinical Research Coordinator

The LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiversity Research Collaborative is hiring! 

Seeking applications from post-bac researchers. 

The LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiversity Research Collaborative at Children’s National conducts rigorous, interdisciplinary research to advance LGBTQIA+ youth and adult health and wellbeing, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of LGBTQIA+ identities and neurodivergence. We seek applications from aspiring researchers (and clinicians) who are motivated to contribute to high-impact LGBTQIA+ research.

Current research areas include variations in sex characteristics (VSC)/intersex, LGBTQIA+ youth development, and psychometric measure development. Our work draws on a range of established methodologies, including genetics, longitudinal designs, neuroimaging, mixed methods, and cross-national approaches. This position offers intensive research training and publication opportunities for candidates considering future study in psychology, medicine, or related fields. Trainees work closely with Dr. John Strang and a multidisciplinary faculty team, receiving project-specific supervision alongside broader mentorship tailored to individual career goals. A strong background in psychology, biology, health sciences, and/or statistics is preferred. The position start date is flexible. This is an in-person position in the Washington DC area.
