Position Summary:

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Project Assistant. We are developing two cohorts: (1) a diverse cohort focused on the microbiome, and (2) an Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AsA-NHPI) cohort. The Project Assistant will be responsible for daily study operations, reporting directly to the Research Coordinator. The NYU FAMiLI Study is designed to improve our understanding of the role of the human microbiome in health and disease. The study will also serve as a critical NYU biorepository resource for research on the human microbiome. Towards this goal, the FAMiLI Study aims to build a large cohort by recruiting participants nationwide using online resources, advertising, and community outreach. Participants are provided a kit containing two questionnaires, a mouth wash collection kit, and a stool sample collection kit to complete at home.
The NYU MOSAAIC Study is the first national epidemiologic cohort of AsA-NHPI participants. The study aims to close the research gap on previously understudied AsA-NHPI populations, and learn what factors impact health and disease in AsA-NHPI populations, with a particular focus on cardiovascular health. Participants will be asked to come to NYULH for a physical exam, complete a survey, and provide biospecimens.
