Description:
The Center on Young Adult Health and Development (CYAHD) at the University of Maryland School of Public Health is co-directing a project to address alcohol-related problems on college campuses throughout the state of Maryland. Campus personnel will be interviewed during a needs assessment during the first year; subsequent years will involve implementing and evaluating new alcohol prevention activities on several campuses.
Responsibilities:
The Project Coordinator will be primarily responsible for identifying appropriate campus personnel to take part in the needs assessment, administering interviews to collect data for the needs assessment, and procuring other administrative data from each campus. Other responsibilities may include: identifying standardized data elements for the needs assessment, developing the data collection methodology, designing and maintaining the database infrastructure, analyzing needs assessment data and preparing reports, and supervising student research assistants.
Qualifications:
Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree plus five years of relevant experience; Master’s degree strongly preferred. Must have a background in prevention, evaluation, public health research, higher education, or related field. Proficiency in SPSS, Excel, Access, and/or other data management software a plus. Must be comfortable balancing multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced, unpredictable environment. This posting is for a salaried, full-time, non-tenure-track, faculty position with benefits. The position is 100% grant-funded and therefore contingent upon continued funding. Salary commensurate with experience.
How to Apply:
If you have interest in this position, forward your resume and a brief letter of interest by July 23rd to Kim Caldeira, Associate Director, at caldeira@umd.edu. For more details about the Center, visit our website at www.cyahd.umd.edu.
