Research to help the denomination and its entities make better decisions.  The
Associates will work with constituents to determine their data needs and

about Presbyterians; conduct statistical analyses of these data; and
disseminate results to church leaders and other relevant groups through
written reports, presentations, and website postings.

 Requirements:

*             A minimum of five years' experience in social science
research (time spent doing research in graduate school setting may be
included in this minimum)

*             Ability to demonstrate excellence in report writing and oral
presentations

*             Understanding of and respect for Christian principles

 Desired skills (at least three of the following):

*             A background in an applied setting focusing on denominations,
congregations, or individual religious behavior

*             Experience in data analyses using R, Stata, and/or SPSS

*             Experience designing paper and web-based surveys

*             Experience conducting qualitative research, particularly
focus groups and interviews

*             Experience in writing and securing large research grants
