The Sleep and Circadian Physiology Laboratory (PI: Christopher Depner) in the Department of Health and Kinesiology is recruiting a full-time Clinical Research Assistant to help conduct an NIH funded study focused on sleep duration and cardiometabolic health outcomes. The main study this position will work on is testing a sleep intervention on insulin sensitivity (risk factor for diabetes) in adults with overweight and obesity.

The position will be primarily responsible for overseeing participant recruitment, scheduling study visits, implementing the sleep intervention, communicating with participants, assisting with data collection, and training and supervising undergraduate research assistants and hourly staff. Study visits will take place in clinical research settings at the University of Utah Hospital and the College of Health Research Complex.
