Research Opportunity
Emergent Analytics has a project coming up that represents an opportunity for a graduate or advanced undergraduate student. They have been hired to conduct a social license survey for a mineral exploration company in southern Utah, and are in need of one or two interviewers to conduct several 1-hour interviews with stakeholders. These interviews are a semi-structured mixture of quantitative and qualitative questions and are expected to take place over the course of 7 to 10 days, starting with training on Feb 18th and continuing until the 1st of May at the latest. The student will need to be willing and able to travel with the team to Southern Utah for the work. The pay is $30/hour, with travel, meals, and accommodations provided, and is expected to require between 20 and 30 hours per interviewer.
They are looking for students (or recent graduates) in the social sciences/humanities that may have some interviewing experience and an interest in stakeholder management and CSR. For More information please contact Dr. Kyle Bahr at kybahr@gmail.com
