Additional Department Summary: Dr. Bradley A.

The project coordinator will work closely with Dr. White and directly with participants in the clinical trial.

Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Psychology or a related field (e.g., human development, child and family studies, social work, or health/med-preparatory sciences) with prior research experience.
