What you'll be doing: The purpose of the Research & Impact department is to demonstrate and amplify Crisis Text Line's impact for texters, our volunteer community, and broader society towards our mission of promoting well-being for people wherever they are.
It is imperative that we demonstrate impact against our mission, and we consider it our duty to contribute solutions-oriented insights to the field of mental health together with an international network of affiliated partners committed to collective social impact in the context of the global mental health epidemic.
The Research & Impact team serves the organization's mission by championing the generation of compelling, evidence-grounded, data-driven content, resources, and tools for internal stakeholders and the broader mental health field.
We achieve this by using AI/machine learning and natural language processing to analyze our de-identified dataset of over 10 million conversations with texters in the United States; continuously assessing the impact of our efforts on texters, volunteers, and society; and combining our insights with publicly available data sources to inform policy, practice, and systems change to reduce mental health inequities and improve wellbeing.
As a Staff Machine Learning Research Scientist within the Research & Impact team, you will lead foundational ML/AI efforts to deliver a consistent flow of high-quality, insightful research aimed at evidencing and optimizing the impact of Crisis Text Line's service and improving practice, policy, and the broader field of mental health support in the US and globally.
