Job Opportunity at University of California San Diego: Research Assistant



Gregory Aarons, Ph.D. of the University of California San Diego Psychiatry Department and Child & Adolescent Services Research Center (CASRC) is currently seeking a research assistant to work on his research studies regarding implementation of evidence-based practice. EBP implementation in real-world human service settings is an important priority for improving the quality of services and outcomes for families.

This research project aims to identify and improve the organizational factors that improve evidence-based practice implementation, including organizational culture, organizational climate, and leadership. The research also focuses on adaptation of evidence-based practice for mental health and social service settings. Data is collected from mental health and social service agencies in the states of Oklahoma and California. Study participants include service providers, supervisors, and administrators.

The ideal candidate will have completed college level coursework completed in psychology, psychiatry, or a related field or equivalent knowledge or experience, possess knowledge of public sector mental health and social service organizations, and have demonstrated experience managing survey data and performing basic descriptive analyses using SPSS or SAS software.
