In this role, you will be responsible for establishing and sustaining the Along With Me Community Board; this will include recruiting people who have experienced perinatal loss to serve as members, and meeting scheduling and facilitation. During the program development phase, you will participate in the development of the Along With Me peer support coaching materials in Spanish and English. During the program evaluation phase, you will be responsible for communicating with study participants who are bereaved parents, from enrollment through study completion. You will also provide support to a group of participants as a Peer Support Coach; you may also help to train additional Peer Support Coaches.  You will support other evaluation study activities throughout the evaluation phase (e.g. survey creation, participant tracking, etc.). Candidates must be fluent in both English and Spanish and have direct lived experience of perinatal loss (no requirements to disclose specific experiences) for peer support roles/activities.

We strongly encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from historically marginalized and/or underrepresented groups are more likely to experience imposter syndrome and doubt the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to eliminate yourself prematurely and to apply if you're interested in this work.

We offer a collaborative, flexible and supportive environment where contributions are rewarded and recognized.  We offer an opportunity to engage in projects that use science to transform people’s lives. We offer competitive, equitable wages and a full benefit package including medical, dental, life and disability insurance, 401(k) retirement plan with generous match as well as paid vacation, holiday and sick time.
