The coordinator will provide project oversight, supervise undergraduate research assistants who are working on the project, and will also contribute directly to research activities such as conducting qualitative interviews with healthcare providers. Opportunities to work on other lab projects, co-author publications, present research at conferences, and receive training in ambulatory assessment research are available dependent on interest. This is an ideal position for a recent graduate seeking additional research experience and training before graduate or medical school. This is a mentored research position, and training tailored to individual professional goals (e.g., mentorship for graduate or medical school applications, support in networking with faculty in your areas of interest) is available.
