We are seeking a full-time Research Associate/Project Coordinator (RA/PC)
to work on two NIH-funded studies and another grant-funded research project.

The RA/PC will provide research support and coordination for three
qualitative and mixed methods research projects with an emphasis on cancer,
genomics, bioethics, and clinical trial participation.  One project is a
complex bioethics research study about breast cancer screening funded by
the NIH. The second project is part of national consortium on genomic
sequencing, and focused on genetic counseling communication for
population-based cancer genomic sequencing.  The third project is a
community based participatory research study of a clinical trials education
intervention for low income women with breast cancer. The second and third
projects focus on access to genomic/genetic testing and clinical trials for
medically underserved populations.

Duties include literature reviews, recruiting and corresponding with
research participants, managing petty cash for participant incentives, IRB
applications, data management, qualitative data analysis (e.g. using Atlas
ti) and manuscript preparation. Working in close communication with
research partners, s/he will set up a participant tracking and data
management system and maintain the system. The RA/PC will facilitate team
communications, meetings, timelines, and operations, and coordinate human
research protection activities, including interactions with the IRB. The
RA/PC will be expected to work independently while also facilitating
collaboration and managing direction from the Principal Investigators and
Project Director. Depending on experience, the individual may also conduct
qualitative interviews and assist in leading focus groups with study
participants.

Subject matter familiarity with cancer or cancer prevention, bioethics,
social science methods, qualitative research, clinical trials, public
health or health policy is strongly preferred.  Previous experience working
in collaboration with community based organizations would be highly valued
but is not required. Assignments to assist on other research studies will
be made as needed.
