The Program in Sleep Medicine Epidemiology in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA is looking for a Research Behavioral Interventionist to implement a rigorous clinical research intervention for participants with insomnia as part of a research study funded by the National Institutes of Health. The Research Behavioral Interventionist will have the primary responsibility of delivering a protocolized behavioral programs for sleep via secure web-based platform. Delivery of intervention will include program delivery, progress assessment, and ongoing support for about 6-8 weeks for each study participant. The Interventionist should have extensive experience delivering behavioral programs or protocols, understand research methodology, have the necessary skills to identify problems that require timely involvement of the Principal Investigator (PI), have superb communication skills, be sensitive to communicating with highly diverse participants (including from low socio-economic backgrounds and from multiple ethnic backgrounds), understanding how to adapt communications to meet diverse participant needs.

The Research Behavioral Interventionist is also expected to be an active member of the research team, attending virtual meetings, participating in all aspects of an active research study, and developing and adhering to documentation requirements. This is a per diem position and monthly time is flexible; however, Research Behavioral Interventions are expected to work with 2-4 new participants/month with at least a 1-year commitment. A high proportion of visits will necessitate evening and weekend work.
Work independently to implement a complex research interventionist protocol, requiring close communication with study investigators while independently eliciting information on sleep, requiring high-level knowledge of the protocol, sleep health, and principles of behavioral interventions.
Respond to the needs of participants, including scheduling telephone or web-based visits and communications that are essential to delivering the assigned intervention; this may require weekend and evening communications.
Work collaboratively with the participant and research team to complete all intervention visits in a timely manner, working within study guidelines and patient preferences.
Liaison with and maintain clear communication with investigators and staff regarding participant issues and study progress, as well as research protocol and data management issues.

Follows Departmental protocols and procedures.
Requires a high level (10 or more years preferred) of experience in behavioral interventions to administer a protocolized research intervention. The successful candidate will not be delivering clinical care or functioning in roles such as a nurse practitioner (NP), physician assistant (PA) or social worker (SW).
Masters degree required.
Outstanding communication skills, requiring sensitivity to protected health information and good clinical practice for research.
Ability to function independently while also identifying potential issues that require physician input.
Ability to learn numerous protocol criteria and procedures and adhere to protocol designs. Attention to detail is a must, while also having the ability to remain flexible with change.
Facility with electronic documentation and communication, and delivery of a web-based intervention.
A desire to work with marginalized populations is a plus and Spanish fluency is strongly preferred. All responsibilities can be performed remotely, and the Research Behavioral Interventionist does not need to be in the Boston area, however, the Research Behavioral Interventionist must be able to accommodate the scheduling needs of study participants in Eastern Time Zone.
