Mainly, this research intern would assist with a study funded by the National Cancer Institute, in collaboration with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Miami, called My Wellbeing Guide.

This research intern would assist with various tasks in support of this study, including reviewing patient records, recruiting, consenting and completing assessments with patients both in English and Spanish, managing and aiding in the analysis of data, translating study materials into Spanish, and aiding in the implementation of an eHealth intervention.
Interested applicants would need to commit to coming into the lab for three to four days per week (15-20 hours weekly) during regular business hours. Preferred hours are late afternoon/early evening (2pm-6pm). Spoken and written fluency in Spanish is required. Having research experience and psychological, social and/or medical interests, and a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study is strongly preferred.
