Position Purpose

The Center for Technology and Behavioral Health ( CTBH ) at Dartmouth College is seeking two Research Assistants (RAs) to join a newly funded study exploring the retention, duration, and discontinuation of medication treatment for opioid use disorder ( MOUD ) in patients receiving care in Lebanon, NH. The study is focused on testing strategies to 1) improve retention in MOUD and 2) explore successful discontinuation of MOUD .

Under the direction of the Research Coordinator, the RAs will be key members of the study team and will provide critical research and administrative support to the local investigative team during all phases of the study including start-up, patient recruitment, data collection, retention, and study closure. The RAs will have direct contact with patients and provide information that will assist them in their decision to participate and remain in the study. The successful candidates must be able to communicate effectively about study-related matters with a wide variety of individuals, maintain confidentiality regarding patient information and study data, possess strong attention to detail, and demonstrate excellent organizational skills.

The project is managed by the Northeast Node of the Clinical Trials Network ( CTN ), spanning the rural communities of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The CTN provides a unique research infrastructure for conducting practical, rigorous, and highly impactful trials focused on improving the treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) and promoting widespread implementation and sustainability of effective and accessible SUD care in community systems across the nation. The Northeast Node is based out of the CTBH at Dartmouth College. The RAs will work alongside the study Research Coordinator and under the direct supervision of the Project Manager and under the overall supervision of the CTBH and Northeast Node Director, Dr. Lisa Marsch.

The RAs will primarily work within an office-based setting in Lebanon, NH.

Note: Continuing employment is based on the availability of grant funds.
