[Jobs] Part-time Temporary Position Opening - Social Scientist I

[Leora Lawton]

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in getting some experience as
well as some money.  There may be a possibility to use this data effort for other
research.  The PI is an NOAA staff scientist, Suzanne Russell
(http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/staff/display_staffprofile.cfm?staffid=538) but
you should speak with Jim Skubic first. It involves some travel (day trips, maybe
overnight, by car).

You should already know how to do face-to-face structured and unstructured
interviews, data coding, and work independently, so this is good for more advanced
grad students or recent Ph.Ds.

Feel free to contact me for more information,
Leora
