About the Position

Dr. Sannisha Dale is seeking to fill a Research Associate position for her SHINE (Strengthening Health through INnovation and Engagement) Research Program. The research assistant will be responsible for assisting with various studies related to the SHINE Research Program, which is centered around HIV prevention and treatment in marginalized communities, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, adherence to treatment for chronic illnesses, and structural issues (e.g. racism). In addition, the Research Associate will be responsible for coordinating the daily activities for several projects with the primary project at the time of hire being an NIMH-funded grant implementation grant that involves direct engagement with community residents, businesses, and health organizations in local neighborhoods during weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

Successful applicants will be very detail-oriented, exercise great time management skills, take initiative on tasks, and work well independently.

Having the ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously is key.
