I am a psychiatrist and PhD candidate at the University of Granada, Spain, seeking three reliable collaborators for current and future systematic reviews, meta-analyses and manuscript projects in psychiatry and mental health.

Research topics may include psychiatric epidemiology, personality disorders, trauma, child and adolescent mental health, eating disorders and other clinically relevant areas. Specific research questions and responsibilities will be discussed before joining each project.

Collaborators may contribute to title and abstract screening, full-text assessment, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, statistical analysis, preparation of tables and figures, manuscript drafting and critical revision.

Previous experience in systematic reviews, meta-analysis, psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology or evidence-based medicine is desirable. Experience with Rayyan, R, Stata, SPSS, RevMan or similar tools will be valued.

Applicants should provide their institutional affiliation, ORCID or academic profile, relevant publications or research experience, methodological skills, areas of interest and approximate weekly availability.

Authorship will be offered only to collaborators who make a substantial contribution and meet ICMJE authorship criteria. Author order will be determined transparently according to actual contribution. There are no participation fees.

 

I will coordinate the projects, supervise the methodology, distribute responsibilities and lead manuscript preparation, journal submission and responses to reviewers.

The ideal applicant is a reliable and motivated clinician or researcher with an interest in psychiatry, psychology, mental health, epidemiology or evidence-based medicine. Previous experience in systematic reviews or meta-analyses is desirable, particularly in screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, statistical analysis or scientific writing. Applicants may be based anywhere, as all collaboration will be conducted remotely. Good written English, clear communication and adherence to agreed deadlines are essential. Applicants should be able to contribute approximately 2–4 hours per week, depending on the project stage. Experience with tools such as Rayyan, Covidence, RevMan, R, Stata, SPSS or reference-management software will be valued, although applicants do not need experience in every area. Early-career researchers may also apply if they are committed, methodologically rigorous and willing to contribute substantially. Please include your institutional affiliation, ORCID or academic profile, relevant research experience, methodological skills, areas of interest within mental health and approximate weekly availability.
