Job Description The ECU Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology is currently seeking undergraduate students to assist in Spring of 2027.

The Gambling Research & Policy Initiative (GRPI) is housed within the Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology with the overall goal to conduct research on gambling awareness, behavior, risk, and gambling-related harms, including regular North Carolina gambling behavior and risk prevalence studies, state/national/international studies focused on marginalized groups, and other studies aimed at filing research gaps.

The Student Peer Research Interviewer will report to the GRPI Director, working to support a qualitative research study that examines college student gambling experiences. The student will conduct peer-to-peer qualitative interviews with ECU students.

Primary Duties:
  • Complete required study-specific interviewer training and applicable ECU human-subjects/CITI requirements before conducting participant interviews.
  • Participate in required training sessions and practice interviewing activities.
  • Conduct one-on-one qualitative interviews with college student participants using the study-approved interview protocol.
  • Use open-ended, neutral follow-up questions and maintain appropriate peer/research boundaries.
  • Use study-approved virtual meeting, recording, and transcription technology as required.
  • Review and correct auto-generated interview transcripts for accuracy and assist with de-identification as directed by the research team.
  • Submit required interview documentation and finalized transcripts according to study procedures.
  • Communicate availability and scheduling needs to the project team and participate in required debriefing/readiness activities.

Work is temporary and project based.

Students may work up to 20 hours per work, with an anticipated total of up to approximately 50 hours for the full project.

Hours will vary depending on training, participant scheduling, interviewing and transcript-review needs.
GPA Requirement Minimum of 2.5
Preferred (Majors, Experience, GPA, etc.) Preferred majors:
  • Criminal Justice
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Ideal candidates will possess:
  • Interest in research, behavioral health, college student experiences, or gambling-related studies.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and work with sensitive information.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Ability to follow detailed research protocols and procedures.
  • Reliable internet access and a private location suitable for confidential interviews.
  • Access to a computer with video-conferencing capability.
  • Ability and willingness to complete required training, learn study-approved technology, and maintain scheduled interview commitments.
