GradQuant is hiring part-time consultants for the 2021-22 academic year. Graduate student consultants will be hired for Winter and/or Spring at a 10% appointment (4 hours per week) and compensated at $20/hour. This position may be held concurrently with TA/GSRships and lectureships.

We are looking for graduate students across all disciplines with strong background, knowledge, and experience in one or more of the areas listed below:

  *   Basic and advanced statistical analysis methods:
     *   At a basic level, desirable experience includes regression methods (linear, logistic, multinomial regression), and frequentist estimation (bias, goodness of fit measures) and inference theory (NHST, power, p-value, confidence intervals)
     *   At the advanced level, some examples of desirable experience may include Bayesian statistics, machine learning, classification methods (e.g., LDA, QDA), clustering procedures (e.g., k-means, FMM), and dimension reduction techniques (e.g., PCA, MDA)
     *   Experience with causal inference may include methods such as DiD, RDD, and IV.
  *   Programming languages, such as Java, JavaScript, R, Python, SQL, C, or C++
  *   Applied statistics and machine learning techniques
  *   Bioinformatics
  *   Data mining
  *   Big-data management
  *   Neural networks and deep learning
  *   Artificial intelligence
  *   MATLAB
  *   Stata
  *   Digital research methods, such as text mining and analysis, digital mapping and/or GIS, network analysis, digital storytelling (with video/sound/Twine), podcasts, or story maps

Please note that you do not have to have experience in all areas listed above. If you have experience in at least one area, consider applying.
