Internship and fellowship postings as of January 5, 2022 - CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy

POSITION: Qualitative Research Assistant
ORGANIZATION: CUNY SPH Doctoral Student Dissertation Project

I am seeking a doctoral- or master’s level student with advanced qualitative skills to help analyze in-depth interview data on personal experiences, thoughts, and beliefs about family planning and birth control of South Asian women.

The person will be primarily responsible for assisting with coding and analyzing data, including assisting with code book creation. The person must have experience working in Dedoose, be able to work independently, and learn quickly. The analysis will be fast-paced due to strict deadlines; all analysis must be completed by end of January/early February. As such, I am looking for someone to start in early January. I anticipate a total of 75 hours ($18/hour), with potentially additional hours, if needed. While I would prefer someone in the Community Health/CHHP tracks who self-identifies as being of South Asian ancestry (in order to understand the cultural context), all interested students are welcome to apply! This is a great opportunity for those interested in sexual and reproductive health, especially in communities of color, to gain additional qualitative research experience and skills.

Please submit your resume/CV and a brief cover letter highlighting your experience with qualitative analysis to Nandini Shroff at Nandini.Shroff50@sphmail.cuny.edu.
