Los Angeles, United States USC Full time

The University of Southern California (USC) Leonard Davis School of Gerontology is seeking a Project Assistant to join the Falzarano Family Caregiving Lab. The Project Assistant will be tasked with working on a study funded by the National Institute on Aging focused on using technology to enhance family caregivers’ use of formal services and supports. Thi is a Part-Time position scheduled to work 20 hrs a week.

The Falzarano Family Caregiving Lab (FFCL) is dedicated to leading a program of research that will inform the design, evaluation, and dissemination of relevant, evidence-based behavioral research using technology to reduce stress, address unmet needs, and enhance access to supportive services tailored for dementia family caregivers and their diverse needs. Dr. Francesca Falzarano, FFCL’s lab director, joined USC’s Leonard Davis School of Gerontology in August 2023. Our overarching goal is to bring caregivers from the sidelines of society to the forefront and include their diverse voices in research. FFCL is dedicated to working toward bridging the gap between research and the real world, ensuring continuity and adequate support for dementia family caregivers across the research-practice-community pipeline. Our research projects use mixed-methods study design to examine the contextual, demographic, and psychosocial characteristics influencing the caregiving experience, and methods of better connecting the unmet needs of dementia family caregivers to relevant available services. We conduct quantitative and qualitative research to inform the development of behavioral interventions focused on the intersection of technology and dementia-care.

The Project Assistant will assist with supporting projects related to family caregiving for older persons with dementia. The projects involve qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, semi-structured interviewing, electronic and paper-based surveys, and randomized controlled trials. This role will also be responsible for data collection (e.g., interviewing participants), data analysis (coding qualitative data), aiding in project development, and assisting in developing Manuals of Operations (MOPs) for all study-related activities. The Project Assistant will also be responsible for the development, submission, and maintenance of IRB materials.

Additional responsibilities include: developing strategies for participant recruitment, conducting screenings for eligibility, obtaining informed consent, administering surveys, developing data collection databases, and updating study tracking and data entry. The Project Assistant will assist with community outreach efforts, assist in the preparation of study updates, and attend weekly team meetings. Interest and experience in behavioral research examining health across the lifespan, health care delivery, and family caregiving are required.

**Preferred Qualifications**:

- Bachelor’s degree in psychology in progress
- Experience with psychological/behavioral research
- Excellent organizational and time-management skills
- Strong attention to detail
- Effective multitasking skills (e.g., able to manage multiple participants simultaneously)
- Flexible and adaptable
- Collaborative/strong communication skills
- Ideally have experience using RedCap, Office 365, Slack, and Dedoose Qualitative Coding Software

This position is funded by a research contract/grant and may be funded by a subsequent contract/grant. Accordingly, your position is contingent upon receipt of the necessary funding from this or any subsequent contract/grant to continue employment.

Minimum Education: High school or equivalent Minimum Experience: 1 year Minimum Field of Expertise: Knowledge of data collection procedures and some experience with proposal preparation and production of technical documents
