Summary:

Seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Research Intern, with particular interest in neurology, neuroscience, and/or research to support clinical and health services research. This role provides an opportunity for interns interested in neurology to contribute to translational, outcomes, and psychosocial research within a dynamic academic medical center.
The intern will work closely with neurologists, neuroscientists, physicians, psychologists, clinical teams, biostatisticians, and research staff to support the design, execution, and dissemination of impactful clinical and health services studies that integrate medical and behavioral perspectives.

Responsibilities:

· Support all aspects of research projects, including IRB processes, regulatory documentation, coordination with study staff, recruitment, data collection, and participation in regular mentorship meetings with the Research Institute and neurology faculty.

· Conduct literature reviews and synthesize relevant scientific and psychological research to inform study design, measure selection, and manuscript development.

· Assist with data analysis using clinical, behavioral, EMR, REDCap, and registry-based datasets, and support accurate data collection and data management.

· Support patient and participant recruitment, enrollment, and follow-up activities (as applicable), with attention to behavioral, psychosocial, and ethical considerations.

· Assist in drafting and preparing research outputs, including abstracts, posters, reports, and manuscripts, for national medical or neurology-focused conferences and peer-reviewed publications.

· Track research activities, attend required meetings and trainings, and coordinate research involvement across neurology, medical specialties, residents, and trainees.
