Job Summary:
Lab for Scalable Mental Health
The Lab for Scalable Mental Health (LSMH; https://www.schleiderlab.org/), directed by Dr. Jessica Schleider, conducts research at the intersection of digital health, public health, dissemination and implementation science, and clinical psychology. The Lab's overarching mission is to create, evaluate, and disseminate brief, scalable supports that bridge traditionally-unfillable gaps in mental healthcare ecosystems, with a focus on harnessing technologies to serve youth facing structural barriers to treatment. Our team has pioneered a new area of intervention science-single-session interventions (SSIs) for mental health-that opens tangible paths toward reducing mental health problems at scale. Via multiple federal, foundation, and industry-funded grants, LSMH has led more than a dozen clinical trials and cross-sector evaluations of digital and lay provider-delivered SSIs. Through these initiatives, LSMH's SSIs have served more than 50,000 people to date. LSMH is a team science-oriented, dynamic research environment including members at all professional levels, including undergraduates, postbaccalaureate staff, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. LSMH is committed to ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are reflected in the Lab and to ensuring all members' career development growth.
