Overview
The AI and Mental Health: Innovation in Technology Guided Healthcare (AIM HIGH) Laboratory at Dartmouth College is pleased to invite applications to join our exciting and supportive research team for the position of Research Coordinator.

The objective is to build predictive models that can identify risk in real-time and lay the groundwork for developing scalable, ethically-grounded digital mental health interventions to prevent suicide. The Research Coordinator (RC) will be an integral member of the team at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) at Dartmouth College and will work in close collaboration with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Nicholas Jacobson.
