The Research Assistant provides laboratory and technical support to senior technical and professional staff and solves less complex problems in carrying out research projects.

This position will be in support of Dr. Michael Roy at USUHS, Dept of Medicine and Walter Reed Military Medical Center. This research is focused on improving the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The RA will be primarily responsible for patient recruitment at Department of Defense and Veterans' Affairs facilities, as well as through veterans' organizations and at civilian locations such as community hospitals. The RA will also be involved with tasks such as participant enrollment and tracking throughout the course of the study, data collection, assistance in preparation of documents for IRBs and other regulatory bodies, preparation and presentation of abstracts at professional meetings, and the writing of manuscripts for publication in scientific journals.
