This position is for 1 year and will require a passport for international travel.

Specifically, the candidate will assist with the preparation, submission, and modification of Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols, participant recruitment efforts, screening and obtaining consent/assent from study participants, and other assigned duties that support the labs' research and training endeavors. The lab manager will also assist in administering expenses for data collection and analysis efforts, along with supervising and managing a large team of undergraduate researchers.
