University of Michigan Adopts Hybrid Work Model for Research Associate Position
The University of Michigan's Social Care in Chronic Disease Collaborative is implementing a hybrid work model for its Research Associate positions. These part-time roles, requiring 15-20 hours per week, are focused on supporting a federally funded diabetes intervention study. Responsibilities include participant recruitment, eligibility screening, informed consent, and telephone-based data collection. While the positions offer flexibility in work schedules and locations, staff will be required to work fully in-person for orientation. The collaborative, established in 2019, aims to advance the science of addressing social context in chronic disease management through interdisciplinary research and evaluation. The Department of Health Behavior and Health Equity, where the position is based, emphasizes turning theory and research into actionable practice to promote health and prevent disease.
