Zurich, Schweiz Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care Digital & Mobile Health Group Vollzeit

Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care_
- Digital & Mobile Health Group_
**Research Assistant**
**30 % **:We are looking for a research assistant to support us with our project 'AI-enabled Language Processing of Adolescents' and Young Adults' Challenges and Aspirations: The ALPACA-study' which is led by the 'Risk and Resilience' Research Group at the Jacobs Center of Productive Youth Development and the UZH Digital & Mobile Health Group at the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care.

The ALPACA project builds on the large Swiss z-proso study ('The Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood') and examines (1) life events that young people perceive as highly significant and (2) how young adults' worries and hopes for the future are related to mental health outcomes. Key methods in the project involve leveraging large-scale text data through natural language processing techniques.

**Your responsibilities**: As a research assistant you will support in the execution of the project. Your main tasks will include (1) manual preprocessing of the text data for the analyses, (2) manual checking and validation of the (prediction) model performance, (3) screening and reviewing relevant literature and (4) assisting in preparing talks, slides and media outreach efforts. Since the project will lay the groundwork for future AI-assisted population research using language data, you will also (5) assist us with future efforts in this area, as time permits.

Flexibility in working from home is possible.

**Your profile**: For this project, we are looking for a highly motivated individual with a bachelor's degree in psychology or a related field, a strong research interest in child and adolescent health, good English language skills, strong communication skills, and a willingness to actively interact with our team and stakeholders. As you will be working with German text data, strong German language skills are essential.

**What we offer**: You will become part of an innovative project at the intersection of Mental Health and Natural Language Processing/AI. As a project contributor, you are also welcome to contribute to manuscripts resulting from the project. You will also be a member of a highly interdisciplinary team which will provide many opportunities for for exchange, learning, and potential future career options.

The level of employment is 30 % over a period of 8 months, until 31.12.24 (by agreement - flexible depending on project workload and your availability).
