The role is designed for a dedicated graduate student who is passionate about global mental health research, particularly focusing on the intersection of climate-related hazards and adolescent mental health in low-resource settings. The Student Research Assistant II will play a vital role in a pioneering research project titled Assessing Mental Health and Economic Impacts of Climate Hazards and Disasters on Adolescents in Low-Resource Settings (AMHEAL). This pilot study aims to explore how climate-related events influence the mental health and economic well-being of adolescents residing in disaster-prone, resource-limited communities in Nepal. The findings from this study are intended to provide preliminary evidence that will inform the development and testing of targeted mental health interventions for vulnerable adolescent populations affected by climate disasters. In this hybrid role, combining in-person and virtual work at the Foggy Bottom campus, the assistant will work during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm. Reporting to Sauharda Rai and overseen by hiring manager Chynere Best, the assistant will support a variety of research activities under the guidance of the study's Principal Investigator. Key responsibilities include conducting a comprehensive scoping review to identify mental health risk factors specific to adolescents in low-resource, climate-affected environments.
