NARAP: Chief Research Associates Opportunities

Colleagues As the days count down, some of your students realize that matriculation this year is not in the cards for them. Many will be asking, “What am I going to do during this year OFF?” The National Alliance of Research Associates Programs (NARAP) has opportunities for Chief Research Associates at two of our clinical sites for a potentially very rewarding year ON. Chief RAs volunteer as middle managers in active clinical research programs in emergency medicine. They direct the day-to-day activities of the line RAs serving their shifts in the emergency department. They may become involved in all aspects of their site’s research activities. With about a 20 hour per week commitment, full time employment outside the program is the norm. Chief RA positions are available at: RA Program at Kennedy (Stratford, NJ) newest NARAP site major clinical affiliate of Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
