[Hiring] Research II @Mass General Brigham

Role Description

This individual will work closely with Dr. Lyons and the research team in the Cancer Rehabilitation (CaRe) Lab, delivering individual sessions in a multi-site study of a telehealth intervention to maximize functional recovery after breast cancer treatment.

• Deliver intervention sessions by telephone or videoconference and complete study documentation.
• Assist with grant and manuscript preparation.
• Perform other duties as needed for the conduct of the research study.

Interventionists need to complete and maintain human subjects protection and good clinical practice training. They will be trained to deliver the intervention components we are testing in the study including:

• Cancer survivorship education
• Goal-setting and problem-solving
• Priority elicitation

Study participants can choose to engage in the sessions via telephone or videoconference, so interventionists need to be comfortable with both modes of delivery. They will document the timing and content of sessions within a REDCap database built for the study.

The project manager will assign participants to the interventionists that best match their preferences for timing and availability; flexibility in working hours is preferred. The position is designed for remote work, and interventionists must have access to a private space in which to complete the sessions. This position is ideally suited for an occupational therapist, nurse, or other clinical specialist who is interested in gaining research experience within an NIH-funded, multi-site research project.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree, clinical experience preferred (e.g., occupational therapy, nursing, mental health clinician)
• Human subjects protection training, including CITI human research certification
• Excellent organizational skills and effective interpersonal and communication skills
• The ability to work effectively in both teams and independently
• The ability to independently troubleshoot and creatively problem-solve

Requirements

• This is a remote position. Interventionists may need to work flexible hours at times to accommodate study participants’ preferences for study sessions.
• Training will be provided after the candidate is hired and will continue throughout the duration of the position as new tasks arise.
• A qualified candidate will be able to pick up the familiar aspects of the position within 30 days of hire and the unfamiliar ones within 60 days of hire.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay
• Comprehensive benefits
• Career advancement opportunities
• Differentials, premiums, and bonuses as applicable
• Recognition programs designed to celebrate contributions and support professional growth
