Data-Focused Research Assistant

~NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS~

’m writing a book about modern adulthood in the U.S. There are a lot of studies and statistics that I need to sift through as I work on this project, and it’s been a loooong time since my stats 101 class in college. I’m looking for someone to help me find, organize, and accurately characterize demographic data and academic research.

This person should bring a critical eye (quick to flag the fact that a study was only conducted on college students, or that a survey population featured only men, for example) and be an absolute fiend for details. You need a degree in statistics, per se, but you do need experience parsing datasets and research, and a translator-like ability to help me understand them as well as you do.

This is a part-time position with flexible hours and location, and offers no benefits. It lasts roughly from February until June, with some work possibly continuing through the summer. Maximum 5-6 hours per week. $30/hour.
