Job Description:The Senior Research Assistant at the Brown School of Public Health (SPH) joins a vibrant team supporting the Dean's office and related special projects. The Senior Research Assistant is involved in fast-paced non-laboratory research aimed at addressing key ongoing and emerging problems in public health.

The Senior Research Assistant will collaborate with other staff internally to lead research support efforts, as well as externally to support engagement with government, media, and other institutions. The position also performs additional related tasks as necessary. All tasks may be performed independently and/or without direct supervision in an on- or off-site location.
