Job Description

Broad Project Overview

 

Dr. Agus Surachman is seeking two master-level research assistants to support a project titled “Financial Hardship, Daily Stress Process, and Inflammation Among Cancer Survivors.“ Cancer survivors are burdened by higher financial hardship, leading to elevated inflammation, decreasing treatment efficacy, intensifying progression, and increasing the recurrence risk. Financial hardship among cancer survivors can also disrupt their daily life, including higher exposure or more severe daily stressors. This pilot study will leverage data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study (http://midus.wisc.edu/) to test the association between financial hardship and elevated inflammation among cancer survivors and to explore if the daily stress process (i.e., daily stressor exposure, severity, diversity, reactivity, and diurnal cortisol rhythms) mediates this association. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with data management and interested in strengthening skills for quantitative analyses. Working in consultation with Dr. Surachman and other collaborators, the RAs will be expected to assist with creating data workflow processes, construct measures from data, compute descriptive analyses, use regression modeling techniques, and, if interested, contribute to manuscript preparation for publication. These positions are funded for Spring 2023 ($15/hour for 20 hours per week), Summer 2023 ($15/hour for 40 hours per week), Fall 2023 ($15/hour for 20 hours per week), and Winter 2024 ($15/hour for 20 hours per week). 

 

Position Description

 

Dr. Surachman seeks two Research Assistants to provide support with the following responsibilities: 

  • Produce replicable data management workflows.
  • Compute descriptive/multivariable regression models with replicable statistical code.
  • Contribute to manuscript development (if interested).

Qualifications

Minimum Required Qualifications • Master’s student or master’s degree in public health/epidemiology/biostatistics/community health or other related fields with interest in health disparities research. • Comfortable with data management and quantitative research methods • Comfortable working in a team setting. Preferred Qualifications • Experience working with secondary data management and analysis. • Applied coursework or practical experience with quantitative research. • Statistical computing skills. Drexel University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and encourages applications from women, members of minority groups, disabled individuals, and veterans. Application Process Please send your CV via email. In the body of the email, please include the following information: • Your educational background and relevant credentials. • Your motivation for applying to the current positions. • Relevant experience that fits with the required qualifications for the current positions. • Information if you currently work for pay, either at Drexel or elsewhere (if yes, please mention how many hours per week you are working). • Whether you already committed to an ILE or APE project (if so, please mention how many hours per week that commitment is). Email to Dr. Surachman (as5796@drexel.edu). In the subject line, please write “Applying to Cancer Financial Hardship RA Positions.” The review process will start on March 28, 2023.

About the job


Applicants are being sought for numerous volunteer research assistant openings at the Drexel University Center for Weight, Eating, and Lifestyle Science (WELL Center) under the mentorship of Erica LaFata, PhD.


This is an unpaid volunteer position intended for undergraduates or other individuals interested in gaining research experience for graduate school and research careers.


Dr. LaFata's research examines how the modern food environment contributes to problematic eating behaviors and obesity. Specifically, she assesses whether ultra-processed foods may be capable of triggering addictive biological and behavioral responses and adapts evidence-based interventions for substance-use disorders to help individuals decrease ultra-processed food intake. Read more about Dr. LaFata's research here: https://drexel.edu/coas/faculty-research/faculty-directory/psychology/Erica-Lafata/


Research assistants are needed to support Dr. LaFata's NIH-funded study: Project Response (hybrid of remote/in-person). The specifics of the position are detailed below. 


Dr. LaFata’s lab provides a training environment rich in intellectual stimulation, collaboration, and mentorship. The position represents an excellent opportunity to gain experience in clinical research related to obesity and eating disorders and to be trained in both research and clinical tasks. The tasks involved in Dr. LaFata’s study offer competitive preparation for individuals who wish to pursue graduate study in clinical psychology or a related area. Opportunities also will be available, as desired, for grant application preparation, research diagnostic assessment training, additional data analysis, and preparation of poster presentations and/or manuscripts related to the project.


To apply for the position (see details below), email Dr. LaFata’s research coordinator: Chloe Hessler, cmh578@drexel.edu. Please include the following information:


  1. Brief description of your experiences and perceived fit for the research assistant position
  2. Preferred start date (March 2023 is ideal)
  3. Estimated hours available per week (5-10 hours/week is ideal)
  4. CV


Information About Project Response

This NIH-funded clinical trial examines whether fat, refined carbohydrates (e.g., white flour, sugar), or the combination of both is most related to biological and behavioral indicators of addiction. Methodology involves physiological sampling (e.g., serial blood draws, salivation), laboratory eating paradigms, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA).


Responsibilities for research assistants will primarily consist of attendance to remote lab meetings and in-person assessments with participants. There are additional opportunities including: participant recruitment; development and implementation of assessment protocols; creation of treatment modules; scheduling and conducting participant screening and remote clinical assessments; co-conducting in-person laboratory assessments, and building and managing data within REDCap. Ideally, the research assistant could contribute about 5-10 hours per week.


Beginning in early March, research assistants will be asked to come to Drexel’s University City campus in Philadelphia for protocol training sessions and participant assessments. About once every week, the ideal candidate will assist the research coordinator or masters student in running participant assessments. These appointments will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM, so it is necessary for the candidate to be available at these times. Research assistants will not draw blood from participants but need to be comfortable being in the room when blood draws occur. Lab meetings and other lab tasks will be conducted remotely whenever possible.


Qualifications

Ideal candidates exhibit excellent communication, attention to detail, and organization. Preferred qualifications (though not required) include one year of prior experience as a research assistant and competencies in REDCap data management and SPSS data analysis software.
