    Description

    Job Description:

    Summary:


    The general functions of this Research Assistant position involve assisting with study activities, including participant recruitment and consenting procedures, conducting standardized research protocols with participants, monitoring daily survey compliance, collecting and sending out dried urine strip samples, and working with study data for the National Institute of Mental Health-funded grant, "Distinct Steroid Mechanisms of Menstrual Cycle Exacerbation of Psychopathology." The position may also include, depending on funding availability, similar responsibilities on related studies in the lab.

    This study takes place in the lab of Dr. Jessica Peters and examines biologically based behavioral mechanisms through which the menstrual cycle may exacerbate various psychological symptoms.

    The study utilizes urine samples, daily symptom tracking, and several in-person lab sessions involving lab tasks and self-report questionnaires to examine these questions.

    This position involves in depth training on conducting menstrual cycle research, and is ideal for someone looking to pursue this or related areas of research and/or practice.

    If of interest, RAs in the Peters lab typically have opportunities to present at conferences and/or contribute to publications.

    The study and lab are within the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, and the RA will gain exposure broadly to how research functions within a large academic medical center.
