Position Details
Applicants are being sought for a half-time or full-time research coordinator position in the WELL Center (an expansion of the Laboratory for Innovations in Health-Related Behavior Change) at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, under the direction of Drs. Evan Forman and Adrienne Juarascio.
Drs. Forman and Juarascio are conducting multiple NIH-funded clinical trials in the areas of: (1) using innovative approaches to improve diet, health and weight, including new forms of behavioral treatment and technology-based interventions; (2) treatment outcome for adults with eating and weight disorders; (3) the use of acceptance-based behavioral approaches; (4) computerized "brain training" neurocognitive trainings; and (5) smartphone app-based machine learning interventions and algorithm-based optimized interventions.
Position Responsibilities
Coordinator responsibilities will include coordination of one or more existing trials. Study coordination includes: helping to develop study protocols; scheduling and conducting participants’ clinical research assessments; tracking participant progress; managing data and coordinating data collection; maintaining contact and approvals with NIH and IRB; and supervising part-time research assistants. Advanced skills in data management and data tracking/analysis software (e.g., REDCap, SPSS, Microsoft Access, Excel) are a plus.
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 projects. Coordinators also have the opportunity to be exposed to treatment provision.
