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. Due to the time-or deadline sensitive nature of many projects, the pace of work may be demanding at times; however, some projects may be long-term and require constant attention to prioritization.

The applicant should demonstrate both experience with and interest in psychology and/or mental health research preferably focused on racial/ethnic minority health, LGBTQ health, behavioral medicine, HIV, chronic illnesses, trauma, mental health and/or community health. The applicant will be required to affirm and empower diverse individuals in terms of race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental health, substance use, etc. The applicant should demonstrate experience with and a commitment to serving Black communities, other racial/ethnic communities, and the LGBTQ+ community. Having the ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously is key. The applicant will be responsible for coordinating research projects on a day-to-day basis, administering psycho-social assessments to participants, and participating in recruitment and retention efforts which will require collaborating with and visiting local communities and agencies.
