PIRE has a significant national presence in the area of applied science, with funded research projects at its centers on prevention, treatment, and policy research. PIRE scientists and practitioners continually focus on the design and implementation of complex program evaluation strategies and the conduct of research related to health and social issues, and criminal justice. PIRE practitioners and scientists provide training and technical assistance in many health-related areas to states and communities that are attempting to improve public health.

Position Summary

PIRE is an independent, nonprofit organization merging scientific knowledge and proven practice to create solutions that improve the health, safety and well-being of individuals, communities, and nations around the world. We have excellent health coverage, retirement opportunities and flexible work arrangements available to support our nationally recognized institution of independent scientists and research staff.

PIRE has partnered with the University of Kentucky (UK) on the Appalachian Tobacco Regulatory Science Team (AppalTRuST), a project that will collect longitudinal survey data to study the impact of current and future federal regulations on tobacco use and marketing in Appalachian Kentucky. Over the next two years, the project will continue to recruit and enroll 2,000 participants, 18 years and older, across 8 Kentucky counties: Perry, Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, Letcher, Boyd, Greenup, and Carter. PIRE and UK are making a long-term commitment to these counties by hiring project staff who live in these counties and who have familiarity with local culture, practices, and perspectives.

To help make this project successful, PIRE is looking for 1-2 outgoing, personable, independent and highly organized individual who will enroll study participants and conduct research activities for AppalTRuST. Applicants must be willing to travel 2-3 days a week, including some evenings and weekends (travel expenses will be reimbursed). The hourly rate for this 60-100% FTE, benefit eligible position is between $21.50 to $26.45, dependent on experience.

Example research activities include:

engaging with community organizations and residents to inform them of the study (through phone call or text, online, and in-person)
recruiting, consenting, and enrolling participants
collecting baseline and six-month follow-up data from participants
traveling to assigned locations within their designated county (counties) each week to recruit participants and collect data (2-3 days a week, occasional evenings and weekends)
conducting store audits
delivering research materials to participants

This position will support the PIRE Principal Investigator and senior project staff and collaborate closely with Principal Investigators and project staff at UK.

Ideal applicants will live in one of these 8 counties and be very familiar with the counties in which they will engage, recruit, and retain participants, including knowledge and relationships with local organizations, communities, and cultures across the county. Applicants will be expected to recruit, engage, and collect data from individuals of all ages across the community, and should feel comfortable directly engaging with diverse adult populations (18 years old and over) who have been typically overlooked in research in a non-judgmental or stigmatizing way. Applicants should be able to think on their feet, feel comfortable asking questions as needed, take guidance, and incorporate feedback well, work as part of a team, manage conflict, and take initiative when required.

Applicants must be able to synthesize large amounts of information (including research protocols, data management protocols, and tobacco products) coherently, as well as have excellent verbal/written communication, organization, and presentation skills. Applicants are required to submit a cover letter and resume/CV.

This benefit-eligible position will be based in one of the 8 counties listed above, and formally a part of PIRE’s Kentucky Center.

Benefits Overview:

3.5-7 weeks of accrued PTO during the first year
Company provided Retirement Plan
Company provided Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment of $100k
Company provided Short- and Long-Term Disability
Medical, Dental and Vision coverage

Preference given to applicants with:

Previous or current involvement in community organizing/engagement

Some Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Engage and educate diverse community leaders, partners, and decision makers on the AppalTRuST project
