Ewald & Wasserman (E&W) Research Consultants are looking for part-time, on-call field interviewers to work on tobacco, public health related research studies throughout New York State. We are a survey research firm that provides research design, data collection and statistical analysis for a broad range of clients.

We are looking for a few more Field Interviewers to join our team and collect specific data at locations throughout New York state that sell tobacco products (gas stations, small markets, liquor stores, etc). The locations are randomly selected from our client and then we dispatch a list of locations for our team to visit on their own schedule. We are collecting data for public health research. It is a good position for someone that can navigate the 5 boroughs of NYC and who likes to drive and visit different parts of NY state. If you have collected tobacco related data before - this is a great position for you! You must live in the state of New York to apply for this job.

This is an ideal job for someone who is very well organized and likes to map routes and drive to different locations. A candidate must feel comfortable visiting diverse locations throughout the 5 boroughs as well as visiting different counties in the state of NY to make observations at stores and to collect very meticulous data as well as sending daily reports via cell phone on google sheets.

These studies often require the use of a car, and driving to assigned locations where tobacco or vape products are sold in clustered areas in NY state. There will be some locations that require several hours of driving and where overnights might be required. If you are required to stay overnight, you are given a federal per diem for that county for meals and lodging.

Candidates applying should have a keen eye for detail, the ability to follow directions, and to work very well independently. Must be able to use a company provided iphone or ipad for data collection and send field reports. It is ideal for candidates with flexible schedules, positive, "can do" attitudes, good communication skills and a desire to learn about research practices.

The study will be starting in early April and will last for 2-3 months. There will be a mandatory a 2-day paid training in Manhattan and then the team will receive an assignment of locations to visit. The hours will be flexible and range from 5 to 30 hours per week based on availability.

The rate of pay is $24-26 per hour based on experience and you are reimbursed for mileage if using your own car OR are asked to rent a car for which you are reimbursed for car cost as well as gas. You are paid for your driving time.
