Design/Research Assistant for Health Communication Research
We are hiring design and research assistants!
Details: $20/hour. Up to 20 hours per week. Flexible hours and remote work.
Contribute to our research team’s work on promoting online cancer support for young adults with cancer and reducing cancer misinformation on social media. Our work is funded by Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute and led by Dr. Allison Lazard. Our goal is to improve health communication and cancer support for those who need it the most. To do so, we are conducting several studies to promote “good” cancer support and reduce “bad” posts on social media. In our studies, we often show our health communication stimuli as images and captions in many days’ worth of social media feeds. We need help creating study materials and executing the research.
The following indicate that this position could be a good fit for you:
• Experience with social media creation or health communication research
• Experience with photo editing software (i.e. Adobe Photoshop) and design software (i.e. Adobe
Illustrator or Figma)
• Experience with/interest in learning Qualtrics
• We conduct our studies in English and Spanish. Spanish proficiency is also a plus.
