The Research Associate will be responsible for assisting with the conduct of research activities as regarding engagement of students and staff at schools, qualitative interviewing of stakeholders, development of participant surveys, data management, assisting with IRB protocol submissions, participant payments, and other assistance with all aspects of planning and executing a small randomized, controlled trial. Very strong interpersonal, organizational, and team-building skills are required. Additional knowledge of psychological interventions for youth and social media or other visual media development skills are a bonus. Although not required, applicants with conversational fluency in Spanish and/or Creole are strongly preferred.
Opportunities for enhanced learning of qualitative and quantitative methods related to school-based intervention research will be provided, along with opportunities to present and publish research on youth interventions. This is an ideal position for a post-baccalaureate scholar interested in engaging with the conduct of research on school-based intervention or prevention of youth psychopathology, and/or public health research, with an expressed focus on racial/ethnic minority children, education and well-being. The applicant will be required to affirm and empower diverse individuals and work collaboratively with both an academic and community team. The applicant should demonstrate a commitment to serving children and families from diverse racial/ethnic and immigrant communities, and children and families from low-income backgrounds.
This is a full-time research position with up to 2 years of guaranteed funding. The primary work location of this position is in-person on the Coral Gables campus; however, this role will require traveling to and engaging in data collection in local Miami schools and their surrounding communities, including areas in North Miami, North Miami Beach and Overtown. Thus, having reliable transportation is a necessity.
