Volunteer Basis, Potential for UROP Funding

Overview

I am recruiting a Research Assistant to contribute to the production of a textbook on the politics of public health. The RA will take on various tasks as assigned, which may include but are not limited to developing comparative case studies of health programs as they operate in different countries; producing tables, graphs, and figures based on available data; creating literature reviews and annotated bibliographies of particular work in an area, etc. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated and able to work independently and have strong analytical and writing skills. Health related coursework on such areas as global health, public health, and comparative health systems, prior experience working as an RA, or work experience in the field of health policy are considered beneficial. I can support applications for UROP funding for the summer or students who are willing to work on a volunteer basis at a minimum of 6 hours/week. If interested, please send a short email to Joseph Harris that addresses your reasons for applying, what you hope to gain from the position, and how your qualifications speak to this ad. Please attach your CV and a writing sample. Candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. The RA’s work will be acknowledged in the acknowledgment section of publications but will not receive co-authorship.
