When not in the field, the RA will work remotely or on-site at N3’s offices, located at 2001 Sheridan Rd in Evanston. All in-person fieldwork must comply with CDC and Northwestern protocols for COVID safety.
About N3
The Northwestern Neighborhood & Network Initiative (N3) is a new research center at Northwestern University that seeks to engage communities, civic partners, and policy makers in addressing core problems facing the residents of urban communities. All of our research focuses on utilizing “network thinking” (an understanding of how relationships shape how we feel and behave) to improve neighborhoods, the city, and our region. We are currently working with partners in Chicago to evaluate a series of interventions focused on reducing gun violence and improving public safety in the city. For more information about N3, visit: https://n3networks.northwestern.edu/

N3 is looking for a part-time, temporary research assistant (RA) for Spring and Summer 2022, with the possibility to extend into Fall 2022, to assist on projects related to violence prevention.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on research experience in an innovative, partnership-driven research space. We aim to bridge traditional academic and community/government boundaries to improve public safety and wellbeing for residents of Chicago. We can train highly committed individuals in research design, data collection, and analysis, as well as community-engaged research approaches.
