The Nursing The Nursing Research and Sponsored Programs (NRSP) Office is seeking a graduate student Project Assistant (PA). This is a full year appointment (includes summer) and is potentially renewable annually for the right candidate. Unlike other PAs that may work with a single faculty member often on a single specific research study or project, the NRSP PA position is available as a resource to all of our nursing research faculty and provides a variety of experiences. Faculty submit requests for small/time-limited research tasks or activities. NRSP staff triage the requests and hand them off to the NRSP PA. These tasks vary based on current faculty research needs but have included a range of tasks including literature reviews, manuscript editing, creating data collection forms, inputting and formatting data, designing scientific posters for presentations, transcribing audio recordings, etc. This position also supports NRSP staff with grant proposal tasks such as formatting and basic editing of proposals, gathering data for internal reports, and helping with data archiving.

The PA works collaboratively with all members of the NRSP team, but is a close collaborator with the NRSP undergraduate student hourly, forming a team to handle activities. This PA-ship provides a lot of variety to someone that likes to learn new things.

This is a customer service job and is best for someone who has both excellent people skills and a desire to exercise existing research skills and build new ones. For those newer to graduate studies, this is a great opportunity to work with many of our faculty and learn about different research tasks, research topics, and types of studies.

This is structured as a 33% PA (~13.5 hours per week), plus tuition remission. The specific work hours or schedule is often fairly flexible – you do need to be able to meet with faculty and some tasks may need to be completed at certain times but that can be worked out with the faculty and NRSP staff. We are seeking someone to start as soon as possible. If starting early enough in the fall semester, the student can still be tuition remission eligible for fall, though hours may need to be adjusted to meet minimum hour requirements.
