*In This Issue: *
- Project Manager at Rendever
<#m_9022577078463347031_m_4685990563601074346_story1>
------------------------------

Project Manager at Rendever
Tamara Afifi, tafifi at ucsb.edu

The Departments of Communication and Psychological & Brain Sciences at the
University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) are recruiting a Project
Manager to collaborate with Professors Tamara Afifi and Nancy Collins on an
NIA-funded study of technology in older adults.

The study examines how virtual reality (vs. a Zoom control group) increases
quality of life, reduces caregiver burden, and fosters family bonds among
older adults in senior living communities and a family member who lives at
a distance. The project is an exciting partnership between UCSB and
Rendever, an innovative virtual reality platform for older adults designed
to increase social connection through the power of virtual reality and
shared experiences. (The Project Manager will be based at UCSB, but will be
employed by Rendever, Inc., and will work closely with Cofounder and CEO,
Kyle Rand, and his team in Boston.)

The Position:

Primary responsibilities of the Project Manager will be overseeing all
aspects of data collection in Santa Barbara including outreach to the
senior communities, recruitment, day to day management of (in-person) data
collection, and coordination of a team of undergraduate and graduate
students. Additional responsibilities include data management, clinical
trial and human subjects tracking and reporting, and collaboration on
manuscript writing and dissemination of study findings. The Project Manager
will work closely with the PIs and a fantastic team of students,
researchers, and staff in a collegial and supportive environment. This is a
full time 2-year appointment.

Qualifications:

Qualified candidates will possess an M.A. or Ph.D. in Communication,
Psychology (Social, Cognitive, Lifespan Developmental, or Clinical), Family
Studies, or a closely related field and have previous experience conducting
human subjects research in the social/behavioral sciences. Strong
communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as well as excellent
organizational skills and demonstrated aptitude for leading research
projects from start to finish.

Exceptionally strong applicants will have effective writing skills,
previous experience with SPSS (or R), and knowledge of online survey (e.g.,
Qualtrics) and data management platforms.

You are a great fit if you also have a passion for helping the aging
community and/or conducting applied research on innovative technologies
that can improve people’s lives.

Salary Range: $50,000 - $60,000

Benefits: Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance

Start/end date: September 1, 2021 – August 30, 2023

How to apply: Please submit a cover letter, Resume/CV, and two letters of
reference to Dr. Tamara Afifi (tafifi at ucsb.edu). Review of applications
will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

This institution offers benefits to same-sex and to different sex domestic
partners.

This institution offers benefits to spouses.
