Clinical Rater

We’re partnered with a growing clinical research organization that’s doing meaningful work in psychiatric and neurological studies — and they’re looking to add a Clinical Rater to their expanding team across multiple sites (United States).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Conduct structured assessments and clinical ratings for study participants across multiple indications (MDD, PTSD, ADHD, Alzheimer’s, substance use disorders, etc.).
• Administer and score clinical efficacy scales in line with study protocols, sponsor conventions, and GCP/ICH guidelines.
• Partner closely with investigators and site staff to ensure accuracy, data quality, and compliance.
• Participate in rater calibration, investigator meetings, and study-related training and certification activities.
• Handle subject crises with professionalism and minimize placebo response through strong clinical interviewing skills.
• Support patient engagement and maintain a professional presence in all sponsor and patient-facing interactions.

What We’re Looking For

• Education: PsyD (or Master’s/Doctorate) required — PsyD candidates with relevant clinical experience will be considered.
• Experience: 2 years of clinical research rating experience preferred (or a mix of clinical assessment, psychometric, or academic research experience).
• Certification: Current sponsor certification(s) required.

Skills:

• Strong DSM diagnostic and clinical interviewing skills.
• Knowledge of FDA, GCP, ICH, HIPAA, and IRB requirements.
