Position Summary:
UNC seeks a full-time Project Manager as part of a new U54 Program Project Advancing Tobacco Regulatory Science to Reduce Health Disparities. The goal of the center is to build the science for effective communications and policies about tobacco products disproportionately used by priority populations – flavored tobacco products and e-cigarettes. This Project Manager will support one of the research projects titled Amplifying the menthol cigarette ban’s impact in priority populations with a quit smoking campaign, which is co-led by Drs. Marissa Hall and Noel Brewer. This 5-yr project will conduct research to develop a campaign to encourage priority menthol populations to quit smoking and evaluate whether a quit smoking campaign could amplify the benefits of a menthol ban in a randomized clinical trial. The Project Manager will work closely with an interdisciplinary research team that values high-quality research that has public health impact, a fun and collaborative working environment, and efforts to improve health equity. This can be a hybrid work position, with at least 2-3 in-person days per week. The grant funding the project is at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and most collaborators are at the Gillings School of Global Public Health
The Project Manager will plan and implement the project’s multi-city trial using the UNC Mini Mart. The Mini Mart is a physical convenience store laboratory that provides a controlled environment in which researchers can study and experimentally evaluate the impact of point-of-sale policies and interventions on consumer behavior. The store can hold over 300 unique products, allowing study participants to buy and take products home for personal consumption. This role includes preparing the Mini Mart for data collection, overseeing the day-to-day project operations of the Mini Mart, managing research activities such as developing protocols and surveys, contributing to the development of a quit smoking campaign, managing a team of research staff to implement data collection in the Mini Mart, recruiting study participants, monitoring study progress and adherence to protocols, ensuring compliance with university and federal policies, managing project budgets, project planning, and other related study tasks. The Project Manager will also contribute to dissemination of study findings (conference presentations and papers) and grant writing in collaboration with the study team. The position also has the potential to expand to other projects with this team.
Minimum Education and Experience Requirements:
Relevant post-Baccalaureate degree required (or foreign degree equivalent); for candidates demonstrating comparable independent research productivity, will accept a relevant Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) and 3 or more years of relevant experience in substitution. May require terminal degree and licensure.
Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience:
Completion of a master’s degree or higher in public health, communication, psychology, or a related field. This position requires a demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple aspects of a large, federally-funded research study. The candidate must possess excellent verbal, written, organizational, and interpersonal communication skills, and must be comfortable working in teams and independently. Strong logistics and project management skills, with ability to multitask, prioritize responsibilities, maintain attention to detail, and ensure work is performed in a timely manner. Proficiency using computer software programs including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Interest in and commitment to health equity and policy research.
Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience:
Prior work experience planning and implementing primary data collection for public health research projects is preferred. Experience coordinating the efforts of research staff is highly desirable. Strong research skills, such as reviewing scientific literature, creating data collection instruments, managing databases and IRB applications, and developing study protocols are highly desirable. Experience or interest in health communication and/or tobacco control research.
