The Comprehensive Mobile Precision Approach for Scalable Solutions in Mental Health Treatment (COMPASS) project is looking for an Application Programmer for our new NIMH project. COMPASS is focused on the effects of machine learning, wearable and mobile technology to both reduce mental health symptoms and predict response to clinic-based treatments. The ideal candidate should be passionate about creating new databases and programs to assist in the collection and integration of complex data across multiple platforms, with a focus on research regulations.
