Research Assistant I - Boston, United States - Partners Healthcare System
Description
Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Department of Medicine is recruiting a Research Assistant for the Greater Boston COVID-19 Recovery Cohort (BCRC).
The BCRC is comprised of patients cared for at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH), Boston Medical Center (BMC), Tufts Medical Center (TMC), and Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), and their affiliated community hospitals and health centers.
The incumbent will be essential to the research operations of the BWH BCRC and will be an integral member of the greater Boston team.
Boston experienced an early surge of COVID-19 cases beginning March 2020, which disproportionately impacted communities with socioeconomic and systemic inequities, including a large proportion of Black and Hispanic patients cared for at our centers.
The BCRC harnesses extraordinary clinical infrastructure, extensive biorepositories, and deep community engagement at the six major academic health centers serving Eastern Massachusetts who have cared for inpatients and outpatients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Research Assistant will work directly with the BWH Project Coordinator and Project Director, as well as numerous other faculty and staff members.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
We are seeking a good natured and high-spirited team player who gets along well with others from diverse intellectual and social backgrounds.
A strong quantitative background and good communication skills (both written and oral) are important and some prior research experience is desired.
No knowledge of clinical medicine is necessary; we will provide necessary teaching. We value flexibility, initiative, and independence as well as interest in medicine, epidemiology, health policy, biostatistics, and/or economics.All BCRC study materials will be translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian-Creole, and Mandarin. Bilingual candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
SKILLS/ ABILITIES/ COMPETENCIES REQUIRED:
