Hi Everyone, I am posting this again with a little clarification to those of you who have experience as VRTs or RTs. We are really needing a dynamic individual with experience in training persons about blindness and low vision to come join our Research and Training Team. The job involves developing on-line training, teaching academic classes, presenting at conferences, conducting workshops, writing articles, travel and assisting with research. It includes the opportunity to work on a doctorate and write grants if that is of interest to you. We are developing a great training team and need one more person to round us out. Now you may be thinking, if this was just at the beach, I might consider applying, but we are a great little college town with a symphony orchestra, community theater, SEC sports, and for those who crave big cities, within 2- 4 hours drive of Jackson, Memphis, Biloxi, New Orleans, Birmingham and Chattanooga. We have 2 positions open, but the one I am particularly excited about is the Training position which the university calls Research Associate 2 or 3 (PARF #7432). Below is the basic information. BJ The National Research & Training Center (NRTC) on Blindness and Low Vision at Mississippi State University would like to announce two new openings for professional staff. For the first position (Research Associate II/III, PARF #7391) we are seeking someone with research experience to assist with existing research activities and to identify and implement new research opportunities. For the second position (Research Associate II/III, PARF #7432) we are seeking an individual with a blindness background to primarily assist with training, technical assistance, and knowledge translation activities. Both positions require at least a Master’s degree and provide opportunities to be part of a research and training team focusing on improving employment outcomes for persons who are blind or visually impaired. Detailed job descriptions and directions for submitting an application are available on the Mississippi State University Human Resources site at https://www.jobs.msstate.edu Use the PARF number to search for the job you are interested in.
