Seeking a highly organized, reliable, clinically savvy, and creative research assistant to assist with the implementation and administration of a forthcoming multisite comparative effectiveness randomized clinical trial (RCT) across three VA Healthcare Systems. The RCT will compare two brief counseling interventions (RISE vs. advocacy-based enhanced care as usual) for VA patients who experience intimate partner violence (i.e., physical, psychological, and sexual violence from a past or current intimate partner). The research assistant will be a key member of the local VA Boston team that is overseeing the entirety of the research project across the three study sites, as well as leading local participation at the VA Boston Healthcare System. RISE is an individualized, evidence-based, and trauma-informed intervention for people who experience IPV. The research assistant will support the project coordinator, project director, and the study PI (Dr. Katherine Iverson) in all aspects of study implementation both locally and with the additional two study sites. Duties include, but may not be limited to, the following:

  • Implement project procedures including, but not limited to, ensuring study protocols are followed, working with Dr. Iverson and the research team at VA Boston and other sites.
  • Maintain research databases, perform administrative tasks such as schedule meetings and taking notes in interview or meetings, and assist with compiling, drafting, and submitting IRB and other required documentation to meet research compliance standards or funding requirements.

  • Assist in data collection activities, including recruiting and making screening calls to participants, assisting with preparing and tracking study related mailings and outreach, preparing and ensuring participants receive complete baseline and follow-up assessments, processing participant incentive payments, and supporting and communicating with research participants via mail, e-mail, telephone, videoconferencing.
  • Conduct literature searches and/or main reference databases to support project goals and planning.
  • Review and edit reports, presentations, and manuscripts, including the development of data tables and visual graph and chart representations of study findings


Setting:

The Women's Health Sciences Division in Boston, MA, specializes in the study of women Veterans and non-Veterans, with a particular focus on understanding gender differences in trauma exposure, trauma and stress in marginalized groups, and interventions for individuals who experience interpersonal violence. Virtual positions will be considered.

Required Skills

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree is required preferably in social science, public health, or a science field, with 1-3 years of experience. Master's degree in psychology, epidemiology, public health, anthropology, or a closely related discipline strongly considered; public speaking experience and skills; outstanding communication and organizational skills. Strong computer literacy, PowerPoint, and strong organizational skills are a must.

Organization

The Difference Is Our DNA

What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.

A Community Unlike Any Other

As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.

Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.

Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.

Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.

World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.

A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.

The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
