The Department of Population and Public Health Sciences in the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine is seeking a full-time Project Manager position (Principal Investigator, Dr. Claradina Soto). The Project Manager will manage two Tobacco Related Disease Research Project (TRDRP) studies titled, “American Indian Community Engagement in Vaping Endgame,” and “Understanding Tobacco and Cannabis Co-use in Young Adult Priority Populations in California.”
The community engagement TRDRP focused study is a Pilot Community-Partnered Participatory Research Award (CPPRA) and will focus on a rural setting in CA, engaging with both American Indian adult and youth community members to develop, implement, and pilot test two interventions for parents and youth while developing and/or strengthening relationships with local schools.
The cannabis co-use TRDRP focused study will recruit and follow a cohort of young American Indian adults (age 18-29) currently using both tobacco products and cannabis, purposively sampled to include northern, central, and southern California and both urban and rural contexts. The central goal of this study is to understand the evolving products, methods, motivations, and practices of commercial tobacco and cannabis use in AI young adults, and the contextual, social, and pharmacological factors driving use patterns and practices. Longitudinal concurrent mixed methods combining repeated interview, survey, and biomarker data to describe and explain the evolution of nicotine and cannabis co-use among American Indian young adults will be used.
The Project Manager (100% FTE) will work closely with investigators, taking a leadership role in organizing all aspects of both TRDRP studies. Responsibilities include the following:
- Supervising core administrative staff
- Managing IRB and regulatory aspects of the project
- Coordinating research project activities, ensuring all data collection activities are completed with interviews and biomarkers
- Conducting and supervising quantitative and qualitative analysis under the direction of the investigators
- Work directly with the community advisory boards and consultants
- Developing, coordinating, and writing grants and grant budgetary materials
- Developing peer reviewed manuscripts, and/or technical reports about scientific accomplishments to inform partners and state officials on evaluation results
- Maintaining and updating project manuals and administrative materials and files
- Interfacing with external and community partners to facilitate coordination
Excellent communication, editing and scientific writing skills are required, as is the ability to work well with diverse populations. Other important qualifications include organizational ability, problem-solving skills, and a demonstrated ability to work independently while managing multiple projects. MPH or other advanced degree is required. Professional experience in a research environment and with evaluation projects is a plus.
Once USC has determined it is safe for employees to travel, this position may require travel to rural AI communities in northern California (approximately 20% of time). A master's degree in public health or related field is preferred.
This position is funded by TRDRP and is administered by the Institute for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research (IPR) within the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences. IPR is recognized as an international leader in interdisciplinary research and training in epidemiology and prevention science, and for more than 20 years has developed research and educational programs that have addressed the complex public health needs in local, national, and international settings. IPR’s campus is in the heart of Los Angeles, one of the largest, most diverse cities in the country, making it the perfect setting to address public health challenges.
