Description

The research assistant (RA) works closely with a team of faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate research assistants from Middlebury College and the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in developing online learning modules for social science research methods. RAs will be engaged in research of materials related to social science methods, identification of materials for integration into online instructional content, working with project members to incorporate material into an online environment, and working with testing and assessment of the learning modules. We are especially interested in candidates who can work with the project for two or more semesters. Our current work focuses on developing research questions, with particular attention to global health and international research, and qualitative data analysis. Knowledge of some of the methods used by global health researchers (like intervention studies, community-based fieldwork, and design thinking) and broad familiarity with examples of existing global health research are helpful. See the project at http://researchmethods.middcreate.net/ . 

  

Preferred candidates have experience with social science research methods (experience may include coursework, independent research, and/or previous experience as a research assistant), the ability to work with WordPress and a facility with textual and visual material. We expect strong verbal and written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate and work effectively in team-based remote work environments as well as independently. RAs must be able to take initiative, interested in continuing their own learning, work well with and without supervision, and adaptable to different project needs.
