When we think of the discursive space between mental health and emotional resilience, we get a sense of the ideological terrain that caregivers of children tread, trod, and pounce amidst when dealing with innocent youngsters. This research assistant posting, then, is titled “Nurturing Resilience: A Holistic Approach to Emotion Regulation and Anxiety Management in Children”. In a sense the title says it all, but wait – there’s more! The goal here is “to develop a unified and collaborative universal prevention program to address the increasing prevalence of anxiety and other emotional disorders in children.”
Crucial to any would-be social scientist is participation in actual research and with this research assistant posting you’ve come to the right place. “There may be opportunities to participate in research participant recruitment, focus groups, assessments, qualitative interviewing, and collaborating on qualitative data analysis and narrative interviews.” Taking notes, maintaining records, and participating on the formulation of a more fleshed out program all are part of this process. A worthy cause! Interested applicants may send resume, cover letter, interests and experiences, a cover of your transcript, and one or two references to Dr. Caroline Buzanko at carolinebuzanko@athabascau.ca
