The NYU Student Health Center is seeking a part-time Interactive
Technology Project Coordinator to help support the development and
implementation of a new high profile, university-wide, community
health and wellness initiative. Take Care/Live Well NYU combines an
evidence-based public health approach with innovative engagement
strategies that will help students take charge of their health by
developing salubrious habits and a healthy lifestyle. Take Care/Live
Well NYU seeks to increase engagement in preventive health while
empowering students to become active partners in their personal
well-being. A key component of this initiative will be the development
and implementation of a technology portfolio of interactive platforms,
social media, and tools to engage students around ten priority areas.
Areas of focus include health literacy; stress; sleep; alcohol,
tobacco, and other drugs; mental health/depression; sexual health;
physical activity; nutrition; healthy interpersonal relationships; and
a safe and healthy campus community.
Working with an interdisciplinary team of medical, public health, ITS,
marketing, film, and higher ed/student life professionals and interns,
the Interactive Technology Project Coordinator will oversee the
development of innovative technology solutions to support Take
Care/Live Well NYU. Solutions will involve a multidimensional
approach targeting individuals, communities, and the physical
University environment. While the possibilities are endless, some
specific examples of projects may include creating and managing novel
communication tools, facilitating community environments, physical
design challenges to incorporate health and wellness into the
university’s physical infrastructure, developing
self-care/self-tracking tools, and/or implementing a framework for
program data collection and utilization.
This position will: lead the project team in creating, implementing,
and evaluating innovative technological approaches to engage students
in their health and wellbeing; be responsible for project planning and
management of resource allocation; and oversee the implementation of
interactive technology projects. There may be opportunities to
support individual student research projects.
The position involves 15-20 hours of work per week (depending on
student availability) at an hourly rate based on skill set and
experience. Applicants must be current NYU students. To apply,
please send your resume and cover letter to allison.smith@nyu.edu
