Position Summary

The Department of Sociomedical Sciences, in Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health seeks to fill a Variable Hours Officer/Interviewer position as part of a research project entitled, “Marriage, Orthodoxy, and a Vision of Empowerment” (MOVE). MOVE is collecting qualitative data to describe the range of marital experiences of Orthodox or formerly Orthodox Individuals in New York and will analyze that data to develop a taxonomy of experiences, understand how those experiences are socially patterned, and identify modifiable dimensions of the social context that can lead to strategies to increase marital, sexual, and reproductive self-determination. The MOVE research is being carried out by a team of Columbia researchers, in collaboration with leadership and staff at Unchained at Last, which is providing funding for the project.

The Variable Hours Officer's responsibilities will include helping recruit male-identified eligible participants, conducting in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with male-identified eligible participants, and attending weekly research team meetings.

This is a part-time position requiring approximately 10 hours/week (the number of hours will depend on the pace of recruiting research participants). Much of the work will be done on a semi-flexible schedule, based on participant and researcher availability; the position does require availability to attend recurring weekly meetings with the investigator team, which can be scheduled at a mutually convenient time. The work can be conducted remotely.
