Job Summary
The Valera Lab is looking for a per diem research assistant position. The RA will be assisting with projects focused on
understanding the neurobiological and neuropsychological impact of repetitive traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in women
who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Primary populations the RA would work with include women who
have experienced physical IPV and women who have experienced IPV-related TBI. Neuropsychological and neurological
testing are administered remotely, and the RA will be trained to run study visits over Zoom.
We also collect blood and hair from each participant, and therefore the RA
may be asked to become certified in phlebotomy and learn how to process blood samples. Finally, the RA may choose to
be involved in other ongoing research studies, including writing up and presenting results.
