Grady Trauma Project Research Internship

The Grady Trauma Project is accepting applications Intern Research Interviewers for Spring 2019. Research Interviewers are involved in many different aspects of the Grady Trauma Project, including participant recruitment, assessment and follow-up. The intern will be trained by study staff at each stage of involvement and will be thoroughly vetted before being given the responsibility to be in the hospital on their own. The intern must be comfortable approaching strangers, explaining the consent forms and study procedures, as well as asking the participant questions of a very personal, and at times heavy, nature. The subject of these questions includes history of abuse (sexual, physical, or emotional), life events when the individual felt their life was in danger, the individual’s current living situation, and current psychopathology.

This is a very time-intensive position. Interns will be expected to be able to dedicate a minimum of 6 hours per week, to be determined based on the intern’s availability and grasp of subject matter. An academic background in Psychology, Biology, or Neuroscience is strongly preferred but not required.
