Job Description

• The research assistant will maintain regular contact with the participants throughout the duration of this project.
• The assistant’s duties include sending text reminders to facilitate digital data collection from participants, organising incoming data and serving as points of connection between participants and investigators. This is an extremely time-intensive role that requires continuous effort over a year as they will be collating vignettes of daily life sent by participants and extracting additional data that participants may post on their social media accounts. We are thus expecting a high volume of data in various forms (i.e., textual data and non-textual data such as photographs, audio clips and videos) which will need to be transcribed and organised consistently by the assistant.
• There will be interviews conducted with each participant which will be scheduled and transcribed by the assistant. Other duties include coding of data and surveying the literature. After the  data collection, the research assistant will assist the investigators in data analysis and in publication work.

Please note that this position will only be for 6 months till the first week January 2024.
