Skills / Experience Preferred
We have openings for 499s/volunteers on our MBRP phone screening team. The job takes place in our lab on campus, and involves screening potential participants on the phone. This includes a semi-structured phone interview where you cover demographics and some questions regarding psychoses and suicidality, to determine if the person is a good fit for the study. If the person is eligible you would then schedule them for their baseline interview on a web-based calendar and database system. There will likely be opportunities to be involved in other parts of the research project too, during times when the phones are less busy. We work with your schedule, so 499s can usually work as many hours as they want/need, and the days/times are flexible. We are interested in you also, and are happy to help with grad school application advice, letters of recommendation from the faculty for your work on this project, etc.
