Job Description |
The Research Assistant (RA) will support Dr. Cindy Sousa with project management and research tasks for multiple projects on the topics of stress, violence, displacement, health, and resilience, with a particular focus on parenting and families within disasters (including political violence, community violence, and climate change). PhD students with interest in stress and coping, especially related to child and family well-being in the face of adversities, are encouraged to apply. Some activities will be logistical support, not necessarily leading to publications, though there might be some opportunities for co-authorship as well. Activities include project management, conducting subject matter literature reviews, assisting with IRB and grant applications, data entry and cleaning, coding qualitative data, analyzing research data (both qualitative and quantitative), using programs such as SPSS, MPlus, Dedoose, and Atlas Ti, and participating in the writing of research findings for publication. The tasks and hours will vary depending on the project, but will likely average about 5 hours a week. |
