The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences offers an unpaid –volunteer opportunity to gain research experience in the psychological and behavioral issues in cancer.
Individuals will gain valuable experience in conducting literature reviews relevant to cancer prevention and control topics, grant preparation. Research affiliates may also be involved in survey data collection, and data entry.
We encourage students to become involved in this great opportunity as much as they can. Many of our current research affiliates and staff go on to apply to graduate school programs. Mentorship may be provided in preparation and completion of master thesis or other academic requirements.
Moreover, this placement provides an excellent opportunity for research career development in a healthcare setting, no matter what one’s ultimate goal is. Faculty interests include cancer screening, cancer survivorship, psychotherapy process and outcome research, neurocognitive research, palliative care, physician-patient communication, quality of life, risk perception and cancer communication, pain and substance dependence, sleep research, tobacco control and other health behavior change interventions, symptom management, and disparities in cancer care. Many research projects target urban, medically underserved populations.
Good time management, organizational and communication skills are essential. Computer skills are desirable including word processing, PowerPoint and library search engine tools. The benefits are vast, and reach beyond advancing your career or grad school application. Volunteers will become valuable members of a research team and have the opportunity to gain real-life experience, attend Grand Rounds and even use data for the theses and publications if desired.
