literature reviews, assisting with preparing reports, manuscripts, and other

recruiting and scheduling research subjects; assisting with developing or

assisting with building databases; and providing general administrative
support. There are no required teaching responsibilities for the position, but

data collection and analysis is desirable. Prior Experience in supervising
mentees for research activities is welcome. The applicant should have good
writing skills and strong publication records; and potential to develop
independent research initiatives and obtain further grant funding.
