Part Time Research Associate Positions Available with the
UB Department of Emergency Medicine
Fall 2019 and Spring 2020
The Department of Emergency
Medicine is looking for several part-time Research Associates (RAs). Our RAs work in the emergency departments (EDs)
of the Erie County Medical Center (ECMC) and the Buffalo General Medical Center
(BGMC), and may assist with projects outside the emergency department. We
are currently looking for RAs to work in the ECMC ED and the BGMC ED.
Research Associates directly approach emergency department patients and
family members treated in the emergency department. RA’s must be able to work in a clinical
environment that is unpredictable and fast paced. RA’s will see patients in
many clinical scenarios, some of which may be disturbing to some individuals.

flexible, but a minimum
commitment of 12 hours availability per week is required.
RA’s are assigned a permanent schedule each
semester (e.g. an RA will work Tuesdays, 8 am-4 pm every week during the Fall
semester)
Once a schedule has been agreed to by the RA and
the Research Coordinator, the RA is expected to work all scheduled shifts or
find coverage
RA’s are expected to periodically cover shifts
of other RA’s who request off. This
ensures that all RA’s can have flexibility when needed.
RA’s are invited back to the program and
schedules are changed each semester depending upon the RA’s performance and
availability (e.g. Fall, Winter Break, Spring, Summer)
Prospective RA’s should be available to work for a minimum
of 2 semesters
Compensation: The pay is $12.00 per hour.
