Join our interdisciplinary research team at Michigan State University’s IMPART ALLIANCE Research and Development Division where we focus on research that helps with direct care worker recruitment, retention, and advancement. Our mission is to use this work to inform policy, programming and to improve the social welfare of DCWs and the individuals they support. We are seeking an experienced social science research assistant to contribute to primarily quantitative research, but with some qualitative data cleaning and coding, conducted by senior researchers which include conducting literature reviews, cleaning data, creating surveys in online platforms such as Qualtrics, coding data, and cleaning transcriptions.

Responsibilities include performing basic data analyses, preparing reports, manuscripts, and articles for publication, and conducting literature searches. The role also includes maintaining research records, overseeing the procurement of materials and equipment, and ensuring quality control procedures are followed in compliance with IRB and funding guidelines. Additionally, the individual will assist in coordinating meetings, public forums, and research activities, and act as a resource for internal and external stakeholders regarding subject-specific research needs.
