About the role

Penn State’s Youth & Community Nutrition Impact Research Team, led by Dr. Meg Bruening, seeks part-time research technicians to support public health nutrition studies. You will help code interviews, collect school-based data (surveys, interviews, plate waste), and perform literature reviews. Strong attention to detail, willingness to learn, and teamwork are essential. The role contributes to ongoing nutrition research with opportunities to gain hands-on experience in community-based data

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
