Project Coordinator

The Project Coordinator will support two federally funded studies on trauma-related drinking conducted within the IMPACT Lab in the Department of Psychology.

The first study aims to understand the emotions and thoughts that influence drinking as individuals go about their daily lives. The second study explores trauma processing in the context of alcohol. These studies both include an onboarding session, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) phase, and related follow-up sessions.

The Project Coordinator will support numerous initiatives essential for success of these projects, including coordinating an interdisciplinary research team, conducting in-person or live online study sessions, and assisting with recruitment, participant contact, eligibility screening, scheduling, compensation, data monitoring, human subjects safety protocols, federal reporting protocols, and disseminating results through presentations and publications.
