Research Data Coordinator | The Youth and Family Research Program

The Youth and Family Research Program (Youth and Family Research Program | University of Pittsburgh) seeks to be an inclusive, affirming, and safe space for all staff and participants. We value diversity and are committed to rectifying longstanding inequities with research and academia. We conduct high quality research with the goal of reducing health inequities in substance use problems. Within this context, we examine systemic racism and discrimination experiences in conjunction with individual factors that may contribute to substance use risk. The Research Specialist will be involved in novel research through interacting with participants during semi-structured diagnostic interviews, lab-based tasks and questionnaires, and during a smartphone-based portion of the study. This individual will be part of a collaborative research team and will attend lab meetings, collaborate with multiple faculty members, and have opportunities to grow research skills and interests.

This position is grant funded.
