Job Summary

The University of Michigan is seeking a highly motivated Research Area Specialist Intermediate to join its research team in the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (MADRC).

This is a full-time (40 hours/week) hybrid position that involves remote work as well as in-person work at the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center, 2101 Commonwealth Blvd, Ann Arbor, where there is free staff parking.

We are looking for a positive, highly motivated, organized, autonomous person with excellent multi-tasking ability and record-keeping skills to work with principal investigator Dr. Annalise Rahman-Filipiak and a dynamic interdisciplinary team from the Outreach, Recruitment, & Engagement Core of the MADRC.

Dr. Rahman's research focuses on disclosure of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, how we effectively communicate with patients and their families about their cognitive, imaging, and plasma biomarker results, and how learning these results impacts health trajectories over time.

The research also focuses heavily on addressing racial-ethnic disparities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, as well as culturally- and community-informed clinical and research practices.

The candidate will be expected to lead feedback sessions and to coordinate disclosure-focused research projects.

  • Relevant tasks include tracking participant recruitment, liaising with the U-M Institutional Review Board on regulatory matters (e.g., submitting IRB amendments), administering research surveys, and overseeing the distribution of research participant incentives.
  • Assist the principal investigator or delegate with compliance and reporting to funding and regulatory agencies (e.g., NIH, IRB).
  • Participate in and support community outreach activities.
  • Work collaboratively with MADC and U-M Neuropsychology affiliated teams.
Requirements
  • Master's degree in Psychology, Counseling, Social Work, or equivalent combination of education and experience in a similar field.
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in a related field.
  • Experience working with clinical populations.
  • Interest in working with older adults with and without dementia and with dementia-specific programs, care, support, and outreach.
  • Dedication to community-engaged research practices and cultural humility.
  • A working knowledge of medical terminology and assessment of laboratory values.
  • Strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrated understanding of Good Clinical Practice and HIPAA.
  • Computer proficiency (i.e., Microsoft Suite, Dropbox).
Preferred Qualifications
  • An active clinical license in the State of Michigan (e.g., LMSW, LLMSW, LP, LLP, TLLP).
  • Experience working with older adults with and without dementia.
  • Experience using REDCap.
