POSITION: Student Intern, Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy (COEP)
ORGANIZATION: Dept of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Division of Epidemiology
Position Summary:
The Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy (COEP) at the NYU School of Medicine is conducting an evaluation of New York City’s overdose prevention centers (OPCs), the first such publicly recognized sites in the United States. OPCs are spaces where individuals can utilize pre‐obtained drugs under medical and/or peer supervision. Over 100 OPCs exist globally, and prior research indicates that OPCs can reduce the risk of overdose and drug use‐related health harms.
As the New York City sites are the first OPCs in the unique US health care and drug policy context, COEP is committed to conducting a rigorous epidemiologic study to estimate the health and social impacts of these services and inform future program and policy development. The study will include both recruitment of a diverse cohort of people who use drugs in New York City to track individual‐level outcomes, and observational community‐based assessments to track neighborhood‐level outcomes. To support the observational community‐based study components, COEP is hiring two part‐time Student Interns.
Principal Responsibilities:
Under the supervision of the Assistant Professor/Project Director, Student Intern activities will include:
‐ Conduct of systematic neighborhood observations and assessments, including independent fieldwork
‐ Data entry, as needed
‐ Other research study activities, as needed
Required Qualifications:
‐ BA/BS in health, social, or clinical sciences or progress toward a BA/BS in a relevant field
‐ Detail‐oriented and organized
‐ Ability to work efficiently and independently in community‐based settings
‐ Excellent oral communication skills
‐ Comfort traveling to and spending time in varied communities and neighborhoods across New York City
‐ Familiarity with harm reduction principles
‐ Willingness to learn data collection protocols
‐ Flexibility for evening and weekend hours
‐ Familiarity with web‐based survey tools or willingness to learn such tools
Preferred Qualifications:
‐ Previous experience supporting/conducting observational research
‐ Progress toward/enrollment in master’s or doctoral degree in health, social, or clinical sciences (e.g., MPH/MSW, PhD/DSW/DrPH)
‐ Familiarity with syringe service programs and other community‐based services for people who use drugs in New York City
‐ Knowledge of public health terminology
‐ Prior work as a peer and/or lived experience of substance use
