Short Project Description
For several years, we've collected physiological data from young children, some of whom have ADHD. We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented student to schedule participating families for their appointments in our lab. This position involves coordinating with other researchers on the project to follow families over time, contacting and scheduling appointments, making reminder calls before appointments, and documenting visits in our database. Following a training period, a student in this position will be able to set many of their own hours, and can work evenings and weekends if preferred. Attendance at our weekly lab meeting will be required.
