Bio

Assistant Professor at Al-Quds University working in clinical pharmacology and infectious diseases/AMR. I supervise undergraduate projects involving literature synthesis, survey/cohort study methods, basic statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation. Students will gain hands-on research training and contribute to real outputs (abstracts/posters/papers).

Description

This project recruits Bachelor-level students as Field Research Assistants (Data Collectors) for a public health study on household water insecurity and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) in Palestine. Students will support community-based data collection using a structured household survey (including the HWISE measure), a WASH practices module, a short coping strategies module, and a brief observational hygiene checklist. The project provides practical training in research ethics, informed consent, standardized interviewing, data quality assurance, and basic reporting. Data collection will be conducted under supervision and only after ethics/administrative approvals are completed.
