Job Description

We are seeking a Research Assistant to join our Movember Institute of Men’s Health team.

Reporting to the US Research Fellows and Global Director of Men’s Health Research, the Research Assistant will provide research and research administrative support to the Men’s Health Research team, and to staff and programs of the Movember Institute of Men’s Health more broadly.

This position is based in Santa Monica, US, but will support research programs that are undertaken across Movember’s core markets, including US, Australia, UK, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand.

In this role, you will:

Provide support for the preparation of:

  • Research protocols, including conducting literature searches and preparing summaries,
  • Human research ethics applications, and administering submissions and reporting,
  • High-quality funding applications (e.g. tender or grant submissions) and support submissions,
  • Scientific abstracts, and coordinate their submissions, and the preparation of presentation slide decks or scientific posters.

Be an integral part of a research team supporting the conduct of research

  • Support with the set-up and execution of data collection through a range of methods, and monitor data compliance in line with best practice and Movember Institute policy.
  • Be responsible for data management, data cleaning and undertake analyses as directed.
  • Work with the Research Coordinator to maintain updated research records (e.g. research data repositories, outputs, reference management, research profiles).
  • Participate in regular research meetings, where research progress reviewed.
  • Support research budget management.

Assist with the preparation and administration of:

  • Research reports,
  • Peer reviewed journal articles and books/chapters, and
  • Formal media and related outputs, and
  • Substack and other social media.

Conduct internal and external stakeholder collaboration & research partnerships

  • Support with maintaining correspondence with external partners on collaborative research programs and partnerships.
  • Work directly with the Research Coordinator and enablement teams of Movember to ensure timely delivery of support and services to the research team to facilitate efficient and effective research.

For this role, you’ll need:

  • An undergraduate Bachelor’s degree with at least one year of post-graduate study in a relevant field (e.g., medical or health sciences, psychology, public health, social sciences).
  • Experience in research, and proficiency in data management and use of statistical software (e.g., SPSS, or R).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent organisational skills including time management.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office programs
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.

Desirable:

  • Experience in quantitative and qualitative research.
  • Experience in report writing, working as part of a team on research publications and presentations.
  • Experience in project management including adherence to sound practices such as project planning, executing plans, monitoring and reporting, achieving milestones and managing relationships.
  • Previous experience in a research assistant role.
  • Working knowledge of men’s health research.

GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember , you’ll help raise millions for men’s health (not for a CEO’s bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We’ve funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less “one-size-fits-all”, and more specific to each patient’s needs.

We’re even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men’s health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men’s health.

GOOD VIBES: The vibes aren’t just for Fridays – even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big’s about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.

Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it’s conga time.

GOOD CREW:
Let’s just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We’re all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who’ll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.

Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.

  • Health insurance, vision, dental benefits and 401k
  • Free Headspace subscription and Employee Assistance Program
  • 20 vacation days per year
  • Relaxed dress code
  • Fun and collaborative culture
  • Free breakfast & coffee bar

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Do you want to DO GOOD?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
