Job Description

The Texas A&M AgriLife Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture seeks a Student Technician I to work in close collaboration and coordination with the Healthy Living research team, whose work focuses on addressing health disparities and promoting nutrition and health equity through clinical and community-engaged randomized controlled trials as well as dissemination and implementation research and related projects. The Student Technician I will provide project managers and staff with administrative and technical support for Healthy Living research projects and initiatives and will be based at the AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas (Dallas Center).

The Student Technician I will contribute to achieving the goals of the Healthy Living program and projects that are focused on health equity and health disparities; food access, food systems, food insecurity, and dietary patterns and behaviors; physical activity behaviors and intervention development; policy system and environmental change; citizen science and community-engaged research; and mHealth technologies for monitoring, assessment, and intervention implementation.

The Texas A&M AgriLife Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture (IHA) is the world's first academic institute to bring together precision nutrition, responsive agriculture, and social and behavioral research to reduce diet-related chronic disease and lower health care costs in a way that supports producers and the environment. Composed of three focus areas - Healthy Living, Responsive Agriculture, and Precision Nutrition - the IHA brings together experts across many disciplines, including agriculture; nutrition; behavioral, social and life sciences; engineering; data and computation science; and economics. Healthy Living aims to rapidly apply knowledge from research to the needs of producers and consumers, and conduct dissemination and behavioral implementation research that quickly translates findings from the other two focus areas to the community and producers.

Healthy Living research, led by IHA Associate Director, Dr. Rebecca Seguin-Fowler, focuses on the development, evaluation and dissemination of community-engaged health promotion and chronic disease prevention intervention programs that integrate individual, sociocultural, environmental, and policy/system-level factors.

The Student Technician I will provide project managers and staff with administrative and technical support for Healthy Living research projects and initiatives. Major responsibilities include preparing materials for study recruitment and data collection, attending study recruitment and data collection events, preparing materials and implementing Healthy Living programs (e.g., physical activity and nutrition), entering and cleaning data in online databases (e.g., REDCap, Qualtrics, Excel, SPSS), and supporting other office-related tasks (e.g., attending meetings, taking meeting minutes, organizing supplies).

Responsibilities:
  • Prepares materials for and attends study recruitment and data collection
  • Prepares materials for and implements Healthy Living programs (e.g., physical activity, nutrition)
  • Enters and cleans data in online databases (e.g., REDCap, Qualtrics, Excel, SPSS)
