Apply – Summer 2021 Research Assistant (Website Related Tasks)

OPEN – We are now accepting applications for a student research assistant to work on web site related tasks.

The MGH Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior (CLBB) seeks to hire a student research assistant to work on web site content management and related web site tasks. This research assistant’s work on the web site will support the Center’s many initiatives, including work on justice and the developing brain and ensuring protection for older adults with dementia.

The research assistant will mostly be involved in the front-end management of the CLBB websites, and on occasion, may be required to engage in some back-end work related to database and server management. Prior experience and familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is preferred. Experience with PHP and SQL would be useful but is not required. 

Exact start/end dates are flexible, though this position is expected to run both for summer 2021 and for the full 2021-22 academic year. This position is part-time, around 8-15 hrs/week. All work will be completed remotely, with regular virtual meetings. The RA will report directly to CLBB Executive Director Dr. Francis Shen, JD, PhD.

Applications will be accepted online at http://clbb.mgh.harvard.edu/apply/ .

All inquiries should be sent to CLBB Program Manager Emily Rehmet at erehmet@mgh.harvard.edu
