RA Opportunity
The Psychosocial Intervention and Implementation Sciences Lab (PIIS) currently has one available slot for a research assistant (RA) to begin work on a particular project as soon as possible. The position is unpaid but would afford the opportunity to earn credits in the spring semester (and possibly future semesters). We are looking to have an RA focus their efforts on a particular project: A Comprehensive Review of Implementation Science Instruments. This is a multi-site project including RAs at IU and the Universities of Montana and Washington. In addition, work on this project would connect you with an international, interdisciplinary team of implementation scientists who serve on our “Instrument Review Task Force”. Implementation, as defined by the National Institutes of Mental Health, “is the use of strategies to adopt, integrate and use evidence-based health interventions and to change practice patterns within specific settings”. For more information seehttp://www.seattleimplementation.org/sirc-projects/sirc-measures-project/.
Role Responsibilities
Your only responsibility would be managing the measures project, alongside our lab coordinator. As a project manager you would need to organize and oversee various project elements, delegate tasks to our Task Force, communicate with the various sites, collect and enter data. There are indeed opportunities for co-authoring products coming out of this project. In addition, you would be expected to attend once weekly PIIS Lab meetings where you would learn about additional PIIS Lab projects.
Eligibility
We are particularly interested in RAs who could potentially stay on to continue work in the lab on additional projects. Therefore, we are encouraging interested freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to apply. The key attributes necessary to excel in this position are strong communication and organizational skills with a keen desire to immerse oneself in the field of implementation science.
Application Process
For those interested, please complete the attached RA application and either email it to lewiscc@indiana.edu or drop a hard copy off for Dr. Cara Lewis in the Psychology main office
