ASST IN RESEARCH (TEMP)

The DeJonckheere Lab research focuses primarily on chronic illness self-management in adolescents and young adults, mainly among those with type 1 diabetes. The DeJonckheere Lab is seeking up to 3 hardworking research assistants to join our team. The position will begin in February 2024 for 5-10 hours per week and continue for at least one year. Research assistants will have the opportunity to build on existing research experience by assisting with and/or leading data collection, data analysis (interview and open-ended question qualitative coding and thematic analysis), and dissemination (i.e., poster and oral presentations at conferences, manuscript writing and submission, etc.) efforts on one or more projects.

Current DeJonckheere Lab projects include: 1) a mixed methods analysis of interviews conducted with adults (18+ years old) with type 1 diabetes who experience severe low blood sugar events, 2) a longitudinal open-ended, text message survey of adolescents (12-18 year olds) with type 1 diabetes, 3) a community advisory council of adolescents and young adults (14-24 year olds) with type 1 diabetes, 4) a community youth advisory council of high school and early college students from Southeast Michigan who are interested in learning about and mentoring in research. Additional projects may be available to team members based on their experience and interest levels.
