[Air-L] Job Opening: NYC-based RA for PhD students/postdocs starting Sept 2015

[Alice E. Marwick]

Come work with danah boyd & I at Data & Society. One project is on privacy
& the other on connected learning. NYC-based only!

http://www.datasociety.net/blog/jobs/research-analysts-reframing-privacy-enabling-connected-learning/

We are seeking either one full-time research analyst (40+ hours/week) or
two part-time (20+ hours/week) research analysts to help drive research
components of two Data & Society projects. Start date is negotiable (by
September 15 strongly preferred), and the appointment is for one year (with
renewal possibilities). Applicants should have a Master’s or PhD in a
social science or related field or significant experience doing similar
types of research. This position is ideal for a researcher seeking to
strengthen their research skills.

Current New York City-based PhD students will be considered so long as they
have flexibility in their schedules; students currently enrolled in
coursework typically do not. Postdocs will be considered, but postdoctoral
candidates should be attentive to how working in an interdisciplinary
research institute may not be received well by traditional academic
departments. PhDs seeking to work outside of the academy, in think tanks,
or across disciplines may find this position quite satisfying.

This is a fully funded position with benefits and vacation; starting salary
is dependent on experience (full-time range: $45,000-$60,000). The
appointment requires residency in New York. Travel may be necessary, both
for conducting the research and for disseminating findings.

The work will involve coding and analyzing interview transcripts,
conducting focus groups and qualitative interviews, doing literature
reviews, and managing tasks to assure completion of the research agenda.
The work might also involve survey design, depending on experience. The
research analyst would work as a part of our research team, collaborating
with danah boyd, Alice Marwick, and Monica Bulger, as well as other Data &
Society researchers. Core findings from the work will be published through
white papers, public-facing venues, and scholarly venues; the research
analyst can expect to be a co-author on at least one paper.

See the full call for more deets & where to send questions. D&S is great
and these projects are both pretty awesome.
