We aim to address complex public safety challenges through education, collaboration, research and innovation, strengthening public service and communities.

  • Assisting in the development of surveys and interview protocols.
  • Assisting with IRB submissions.
  • Cleaning, linking, and analyzing quantitative datasets.
  • Coding qualitative interview transcripts.
  • Developing practitioner-focused briefs to translate research findings into actionable insights.
  • Assisting in the development of research proposals.

This position is open to UVA graduate students eligible for student employment. The student will report to the Center's Research Scientist, Dr. Jenna Tyler.

Scheduling: This position is estimated to work about 10-15 hours per week, but there is flexibility.

Compensation: $18.00/hr.
