Research Specialist - Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development,

Duke SenseToKnow Clinical Research Specialist.

Do you love psychology and also speak Spanish? Are you interested in working with diverse populations?

The Duke SenseToKnow (S2K) study within the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development is seeking Spanish-speaking Clinical Research Specialists (CRSs) to join our research team. Duke SenseToKnow is a longitudinal study focused on a novel digital health screening tool that uses computer vision analysis for early detection of autism symptoms. Study staff work with racially and ethnically diverse study participants to remotely administer surveys and the SenseToKnow mobile application to infants and toddlers. CRSs have a key role in recruiting, consenting, enrolling participants, and conducting study visits and data collection.

As a member of the SenseToKnow research team you will gain experience in: working with an interdisciplinary study team including pediatrics, primary care, engineering, and computer science experts, following study protocols, preparation and use of assessments, direct participant interaction, data acquisition, observing and assisting with setting up diagnostic assessments, and data quality control processes. As a CRS you will also receive training through our Spanish Interpreter Training Program to become a study interpreter for research participants!

This study enrolls English- and Spanish-speaking participants, therefore CRSs in this position will need at least a working proficiency in Spanish writing and speaking abilities. This is a full time, paid, entry level position.

Anticipated start date: late Spring/early Summer 2023.
