Research Assistant Jobs in New York

A Research Assistant in the mental health industry plays a crucial role in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data related to mental health studies. They assist researchers in conducting experiments, surveys, and interviews to gather data, maintain accurate records of research findings, and contribute to the writing and presentation of research results. They may also be responsible for literature reviews, database management, and regulatory compliance. Research Assistants work in a variety of settings including academic institutions, private research firms, and healthcare organizations.

Important skills for a Research Assistant in Mental Health include strong analytical skills, an understanding of research methodologies, and proficiency with statistical software. They should also have excellent communication and organizational skills, and the ability to work both independently and in a team environment. Knowledge of mental health issues and treatments is essential. While a bachelor's degree in psychology or a related field is often required, a master's degree or higher can be advantageous. Certification is not typically required, but credentials like the Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP) can be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Research Assistant, individuals might have roles such as Mental Health Worker, Clinical Research Coordinator, or Mental Health Counselor.
