About The Position
The Resilience/Resistance to Alzheimer's Disease in Centenarians and Offspring (RADCO) study is a multi-site research study taking place at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and six other institutes across the country. The study aims to understand the biological processes that contribute to healthy longevity and protection from Alzheimer's disease. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine site is seeking a Research Assistant (RA) to be responsible for the collection and management of study participant data. Data collection will involve working as part of a team with other research assistants to gather clinical data from study participants aged 35 to 120 years during virtual visits. This data includes cognitive and physical function measures, and the RA will receive standardized training in conducting these measures. Additionally, the RA may briefly visit study participants at their homes to collect blood samples and set up study equipment. Previous phlebotomy experience is highly desirable, although a willingness to take part in a phlebotomy course to learn these skills is also acceptable. Some home visits will require driving to participants' homes, typically within a three-hour distance of New York City. The RA will have the opportunity to participate in academic activities and contribute to research projects related to the study that interest them, including participation in journal clubs, attendance at scientific talks, data review, and contributions to presentations for national academic meetings and publications.
