Position Description

The Research Assistant for ENLACES, is a part-time (10-20 hours per week), graduate student worker opportunity with National University. Working directly under the leadership and supervision of the ENLACES Research Director, the Research Assistant plays a vital role in supporting research project start-up activities, including establishing operational workflows, creating project timelines, building data collection protocols, drafting IRB applications, coordinating initial partner convenings, and grant proposal drafting. Additional ongoing research activities include mixed-methods data collection, analysis, and reporting. ENLACES is committed to advancing culturally responsive, equity-focused research designed to promote continuous improvement of ENLACES initiatives to meet the needs of diverse and historically underserved populations.

The incumbent plays a key role to enact, implement, and write-up implementation and impact research, generate research deliverables, and support research-practice partnerships (RPPs) across the organization —such as literature reviews, research and policy reviews, peer-reviewed publication drafts, grant proposal drafts, and practitioner-friendly research briefs. This role provides graduate students with hands-on research mentorship, high-level project management experience, and scholarly writing opportunities in real world community-engaged research.

Opportunities will also be provided for the Research Assistant to engage internal and external research partners, provide support to external evaluators, and ensure tasks are executed in a timely manner.

  • Assist with coordination and planning logistics for major research, community, and policy projects.
  • Engage in mixed-methods research activities, including survey and qualitative interview protocol design, interview and focus group facilitation, document analysis, and observational data collection.
  • Communicate with internal and external ENLACES partners to coordinate data collection activities, interpret analytic findings, and share results.
  • Perform data management duties, including data cleaning, data entry, data validation, database structuring, and maintaining secure, de-identified participant data in compliance with data privacy standards.
  • Analyze both quantitative data (descriptive and correlational data) and qualitative data (thematic analysis) in collaboration with leadership and partners.
  • Draft comprehensive data reports, executive summaries, practitioner-friendly briefs, and manuscript sections for peer-reviewed publications in collaboration with leadership and partners.
  • Synthesize and write up literature reviews and research briefs focused on priority topics identified with the ENLACES Research Director and research team partners.
  • Help prepare presentation materials, posters, and slide decks for academic conferences, policy briefings, and partner meetings.
  • Draft Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications, protocol modifications, and compliance documentation for projects.
  • Collaborate with external evaluators and community partners to execute collaborative research projects and engage in authentic research-practice partnerships (RPPs).

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
