Overview
Dana-Farber is seeking a highly motivated individual to provide support for several research studies within the Department of Supportive Oncology. Broadly, research projects focus on the development and testing of novel behavioral treatments (e.g., mobile health apps, tele-health delivery) for patients with cancer and chronic pain or who are at risk of substance use disorders. The position may involve support for other studies or projects related to the team’s other programs of research. Specific responsibilities include: participant screening and recruitment for studies funded by the National Cancer Institute; maintaining and updating patient specific data generated by the studies; maintaining and interfacing with mobile health intervention servers and data management; performing literature searches; and interfacing with the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking for clinical research experience before applying to graduate school in psychology (particularly clinical and counseling programs), the social sciences, public health, or medical school with a special interest in pain management, psychological interventions, and/or behavioral mobile health interventions.
This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week position. It is a hybrid position with an on-site location at Longwood Medical Center in Boston, MA. The selected candidate may only work remote days from a New England state (ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI).
