The research assistant for this project will serve several functions. First, they will be responsible for coordinating interviewer schedules and coordinating with individual study sites to fill available assessment openings. Second, they will be responsible for ensuring interviewers have access to appropriate participant information and necessary contact information for local emergency services in the event interviewers need to initiate a wellness check. Third, they will be responsible for coordinating collection, scanning, and mailing of paper interviewer measures (e.g., diagnostic interviews). Finally, they will be responsible for assisting study staff with regulatory oversight tasks for both local (Boston University) and national (centralized IRB) IRBs. This position does require previous experience working in research, ideally involving trauma-specific work (e.g., PTSD research). Although this role will not involve training or overseeing other personnel, the research assistant will have a fair amount of autonomy once adequate training and supervision has been provided. The research assistant will have access to confidential participant information in order to coordinate between sites and interviewers. This position requires a bachelors degree in psychology or a related area and some relevant research experience.
