Subject: Seeking two full-time research assistants for study of IPT treatment after perinatal loss
Dear IPT community,
I am looking to hire two full-time research assistants to work on a newly funded R01 testing IPT for major depression following perinatal loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, or early neonatal death). The position requires at least a bachelor’s degree and will consist of clinical interviewing, recruitment, and follow-up with women who have experienced a perinatal loss. This position would be a good opportunity for someone who wants to learn more about perinatal loss, who wants opportunities to work with women from minority-majority communities with complex factors influencing social determinants of health, and/or who is seeking more research experience before applying to graduate school. It is based in Flint, Michigan.
Would you be willing to share this posting with anyone who might be interested? It would be much appreciated. Applications can be submitted at https://careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/506110/research-technologist-ii and will be accepted through 3/23/21.
Thank you very much,
Jennifer
