Ewald & Wasserman Research Consultants (E&W) is a women-owned small business located in San Francisco that focuses on social science research studies and provides project management for academic, health care, non-profit and commercial clientele in the social science and behavioral research field, including state and federal agencies. E&W offers high quality data collection and survey consulting services using multi-mode telephone, mail, in-person and web- based survey research approaches.
Ewald & Wasserman Research Consultants are looking for part-time, on call field interviewers to assist in data collection for upcoming research projects in San Francisco.
Candidates applying should have a keen eye for detail, be very reliable, follow directions carefully, and work very well independently or in a small team. This is a great opportunity to learn about data collection and research practices. It is ideal for candidates with flexible schedules and positive, "can do" attitudes.
We have a current project with the SFMTA that requires riding cable car lines in San Francisco and counting passengers getting on and off at stops. A paid training will be provided on the protocols. The hours will be flexible. You will ride the round-trip route with a partner and both arrive a few minutes prior to the route start time. Assignments will be weekdays and on weekends. SFMTA safety vests and clipboards will be provided. This is a 1-4 month position that may lead to other projects including doing intercept surveys with people in the Mission area. Ideally candidates live in San Francisco and have knowledge of MUNI lines.
