Research Associate Implementation Science
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About The Hiring Group (description). Then "What You'll Do" (responsibilities). Then "Key Responsibilities" (list). Then "Your work may help..." maybe part of responsibilities. Then "Project Coordination and Delivery", "Client, Stakeholder, and Business Development Support", "Scientific Communication and Dissemination", "Program Development and Professional Growth". Those are sub-sections under responsibilities. We can combine them under a single Responsibilities section with - items. Also "What You'll Need" (requirements/qualifications). Then "Preferred Qualifications". Also maybe "Relevant preparation may be demonstrated..." part of qualifications. No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule. So we should not include those sections.
We need headings: About the role (maybe "About the role" or "About The Hiring Group"? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings? Probably yes: "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills". But we can also include "Preferred Qualifications" as part of Qualifications? Might be separate but we can combine. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we need About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Do we have Skills section? The posting includes "Proficiency with standard word-processing..." etc. That's skills. Could be under Skills. Could also be under Requirements. But we can create a Skills section for those.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
About the role: description of RTI-HS, PCOR team, Implementation Science, role description. We'll summarize but must preserve all substantive information; we cannot omit details. However we can keep the prose as is, maybe shorten? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot omit details; we must keep all information. But we can keep it as is, maybe just copy the relevant paragraphs. However we need to avoid duplication. The posting includes a lot of text; we need to include it all under appropriate sections.
We need to decide how to structure: About the role: include the introductory paragraphs about RTI-HS, PCOR team, Implementation Science, and the role description (entry-level). That's a lot.
Responsibilities: include all bullet points under "What You'll Do", "Key Responsibilities", and sub-sections (Project Coordination and Delivery, Client, Stakeholder, and Business Development Support, Scientific Communication and Dissemination, Program Development and Professional Growth). We'll combine into a single - list, preserving each bullet as an
- . Must not lose any detail.
Requirements: include "What You'll Need" bullet points (the list). That's the required qualifications.
Qualifications: include "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Skills: maybe include the skills mentioned under "What You'll Need" like proficiency with tools, ability to learn new methods, etc. But those are already in requirements. Could treat them as Skills. However we might not need a separate Skills section if we already covered them under Requirements. But the instruction says we can include Skills section if there is real specific content. The posting includes "Proficiency with standard word-processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and virtual collaboration tools. Ability and willingness to learn new methods, software, therapeutic areas, and project-management processes". That's skills. We could put them under Skills.
But we must not duplicate content. If we put them under Skills, we should not also repeat them under Requirements. However the Requirements list includes many items; we could split: Requirements: education, foundational knowledge, ability to organize, communication, collaboration, attention to detail, commitment to ethics. Skills: proficiency with tools, ability to learn new methods. That seems reasonable.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any bullet. Let's extract the exact bullet points from "What You'll Need":
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in health sciences, public health, implementation science, health services research, psychology, sociology, anthropology, epidemiology, life sciences, social or behavioral science, or a related field.
- Foundational knowledge of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research gained through coursework, a thesis or capstone, an internship or practicum, a research assistantship, volunteer research, or professional experience.
- Demonstrated ability to organize information, maintain accurate documentation, manage assigned tasks, and meet deadlines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear research summaries or other professional materials.
- Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines, receive direction, incorporate feedback, and contribute to shared deliverables.
- Careful attention to detail and a commitment to research quality, ethics, participant confidentiality, and data integrity.
- Proficiency with standard word-processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and virtual collaboration tools.
- Ability and willingness to learn new methods, software, therapeutic areas, and project-management processes
- Relevant preparation may be demonstrated through academic, internship, practicum, assistantship, volunteer, or employment settings.
- Extensive full-time post-degree experience is not required.
Now Preferred Qualifications list:
- Experience supporting mixed-methods research, including qualitative and quantitative data collection or analysis.
- Experience coordinating a research project or maintaining timelines, action items, study records, and communications.
- Experience with site-based, multisite, clinical, community-based, or healthcare delivery research.
- Exposure to implementation science theories, models, frameworks, strategies, or outcomes, such as CFIR, RE-AIM, EPIS, or Proctor’s implementation outcomes.
- Experience conducting interviews, focus groups, surveys, observations, qualitative coding, descriptive analysis, literature reviews, or environmental scans.
- Exposure to pharmaceutical development, biotechnology, medical devices, real-world evidence, health economics and outcomes research, patient-centered research, market access, or quality improvement.
- Experience with relevant qualitative analysis, statistical analysis, survey, reference-management, electronic data-capture, or project-management software.
- Experience in a consulting, pharmaceutical, academic, healthcare, public health, or other applied research environment.
- A research work product, such as a thesis, capstone, report, manuscript, presentation, poster, or portfolio example.
Now Responsibilities: we need to capture all bullet points from "What You'll Do", "Key Responsibilities", and sub-sections.
Let's extract:
"What You'll Do" paragraph: "In this role, you will work closely with senior researchers to support project execution, literature synthesis, mixed-methods research, site-based activities, stakeholder engagement, proposal development, and coordination across multidisciplinary teams. You will receive guidance while building skills across the research lifecycle and contributing directly to high-quality client deliverables. You will help RTI-HS serve as a strategic research partner to pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients. Your work may help teams identify potential adoption barriers early in the clinical development pipeline and integrate practical implementation questions and solutions into research and evidence-generation designs."
That's prose; we can keep as a
under Responsibilities or as part of responsibilities. But we need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This paragraph is not a list; we can keep as
. Then "Key Responsibilities" heading followed by a list of bullet points (each starting with a bold phrase?). Let's extract each bullet:

We need to preserve all these bullet points. Also the initial "What You'll Do" paragraph could be included as a
before the list.
Now About the role: we need to include the introductory paragraphs about RTI-HS, PCOR team, Implementation Science, and the role description. Let's extract:
"About The Hiring Group RTI Health Solutions (RTI-HS), a business unit of RTI International, is an independent and internationally recognized research organization.
