PIRE has partnered with the University of Kentucky (UK) onthe Appalachian Tobacco Regulatory Science Team (AppalTRuST), a project that will collect longitudinal survey data to study the impact of current and future federal regulations on tobacco use and marketing in Appalachian Kentucky. Over the next four years, the project will recruit and enroll 2,000 participants, 18 years and older, across 8 Kentucky counties: Perry, Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Boyd, Greenup, and Carter. PIRE and UK are making a long-term commitment to these counties by hiring project staff who live in these counties and who have familiarity with local culture, practices, and perspectives.
To help make this project successful, PIRE is looking for 5-6 outgoing, personable, and highly organized individuals who will enroll study participants and conduct research activities for AppalTRuST. The rate range for this position is $21.50 to $24.00 with 60%-100% FTE. This is a benefit eligible position.
Example research activities include:
This position will support the PIRE Principal Investigator and senior project staff and collaborate closely with Principal Investigators and project staff at UK.
Ideal applicants will live in one of these 8 counties and be very familiar with the counties in which they will engage, recruit, and retain participants, including knowledge and relationships with local organizations, communities, and cultures across the county. Applicants will be expected to recruit, engage, and collect data from individuals of all ages across the community, and should feel comfortable directly engaging with diverse adult populations (18 years old and over) who have been typically overlooked in research in a non-judgmental or stigmatizing way. Applicants should be able to think on their feet, feel comfortable asking questions as needed, take guidance, and incorporate feedback well, work as part of a team, manage conflict, and take initiative when required.
Applicants must be able to synthesize large amounts of information (including research protocols, data management protocols, and tobacco products) coherently, as well as have excellent verbal/written communication, organization, and presentation skills. Applicants are required to submit a cover letter and resume/CV.
This benefit-eligible position will be based in one of the 8 counties listed above, and formally a part of PIRE’s Kentucky Center.
