Position Overview 

We are seeking a Research Coordinator to collaborate closely with our team, and support our research operations and infrastructure. 

In this role, you’ll help facilitate listening sessions with young people, support coding and analysis alongside the team, help surface relevant literature, and support the creation of insight memos. You’ll also run our data pipeline, support recruitment and scheduling, and help maintain our IRB documentation. 

We’re a small research program and have some systems in place, but they are still maturing as we go through our first few cycles of research. You’ll play an important role in helping evolve our processes, systems and infrastructure. We are looking for a Research Coordinator that brings curiosity, care, and the kind of ownership that carries work from start to finish. And, someone who is comfortable when the path isn’t fully built yet, and they bring warmth to sessions with young people and partners alike.

Who We Are 

We are building a listening and interpretation platform for modern adolescence. We exist to help society understand what young people are navigating while technology is changing around them. We listen closely to young people, interpret what they share with us with (striving consistently for developmental rigor and grounded interpretations), and then help those insights move into the audiences shaping their lives.

We’re a program that is incubated within In Tandem, a program of Array Education, and led by Dr. Emily Weinstein, a developmental psychologist with a decade of work at the intersection of youth, technology, and well-being. We’re in our early days, building systems, refining processes, and growing the team thoughtfully. As a team, we bring care, rigor, and joy to the work, and we’re generous in how we collaborate and show up in the broader ecosystem. We listen carefully, share thinking openly, hold ourselves to high standards, and meet each other with grace when things fall short.

• Co-facilitate youth research assistant sessions with our team. Collaborate on developing session ideas.
• Conduct coding under the direction of our founder in Atlas.ti, organizing coded material and surfacing representative quotes, patterns, and tensions for our founder’s interpretive work.
• Conduct focused literature scans and prepare summaries of relevant findings. 
• Support memo production by pulling quotes, surfacing relevant literature, maintaining citations, and fact-checking.

Research Operations and Compliance 

• Maintain IRB documentation and assist with paperwork as directed, manage consent/assent logistics and participation tracking under direction of team leadership. Track CITI training compliance and keep documentation audit-ready. 
• Coordinate recruitment and scheduling across 4-5 research cycles, from In Tandem coordination and non-In Tandem sourcing through outreach, completion, and follow-up.
• Maintain our data pipeline making sure our recordings, transcription workflow, transcript accuracy and de-identification, participant ID tracking, and data retention is seamless and well organized.
• Maintain our Qualtrics survey instruments, including consent and assent forms, automated workflows. 

Project Management and Infrastructure 

• Manage multiple concurrent tasks and projects across research cycles, share proactive status updates, and flag risks early.
• Support external partner meetings and follow-up. Coordinate with consultants as needed and manage cross-functional handoffs.

Required Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in developmental psychology, human development, education, sociology, or a related field; master’s or doctoral coursework a plus. 
• 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in qualitative research, research operations, or applied research in a lab, research institute, or comparable setting.
• IRB or human-subjects research experience and ideally have supported a submission or continuing review.
• Comfort co-facilitating qualitative interviews and focus groups with youth, or strong interest in developing that skill. You’re warm, attentive, and thoughtful in how you engage young people on personal topics.
• Comfort working with adolescents on topics that may include mental health, technology, identity, and other experiences that might be sensitive.
• Qualitative research training, including experience with interviews or formal listening group sessions, firstpass coding, and surfacing relevant literature.
• Hands-on experience with Qualtrics for building survey, consent, and assent forms and automated workflows.
• Strong organization and project management ability, with proven capacity to own multiple workstreams from start to finish.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You’re clear, concise, and proactive about keeping people in the loop.
