The School of Medicine's Department of Otolaryngology/Head And Neck Surgery has an outstanding opportunity open for a Temporary Research Study Assistant.
The Research Study Assistant will operate under supervision in a developmental auditory neuroscience laboratory conducting new and ongoing research projects at the University of Washington Virginia Merrill Bloedel Hearing Research Center. The RSA will provide overall support for all aspects of a number of multi-focused research projects, ranging from definition of research problems through dissemination of results. The RSA will recruit, screen, and schedule research participants, collect EEG/MEG and psychophysical data, administer developmental assessments and parent questionnaires, monitor study progress, perform data entry, manage student assistants, and conduct day-to-day laboratory operations. The RSA will work amongst a team of professionals including researchers, graduate students, technical support staff, research coordinators, undergraduate assistants/volunteers.
The RSA will be required to work with a wide age range of research participants from very young infants (2 months +) and their caregivers to adults. The RSA will be required to collect different types of data including EEG/MEG, hearing screening, psychophysical data, developmental assessments, as well as parent questionnaires. This position requires some flexibility with hours, including evenings and weekends, depending on research participant availability. Most data is collected in-person with occasional remote sessions so the RSA is required to interact with caregivers, participants, as well as student research assistants in the laboratory.
