Assistance Needed for Survey Research on Occupy Wall Street
We are seeking MA and PhD students to assist with a survey research project on Occupy Wall Street. This is an exciting opportunity to learn about conducting survey research, as well as a chance to learn more about the movement itself.
We are seeking FIFTY students to assist with surveying the participants at the mass rally/march on May 1, 2012 for which planning is now underway. If you are selected to participate, you will receive training in fielding surveys prior to that date (see schedule below) and a $200 honorarium.
Because time is tight, we ask that all interested students complete the human subjects training required for IRB approval BEFORE applying. You can find the IRB training course here: https://www.citiprogram.org/. (It should take you between 1-2 hours to complete the on-line course.)
In addition to the CITI training, interviewers must be available to attend two training sessions and to work on May 1, 2012 on the survey itself. There are two separate times for each of the two sessions, interviewers must attend ONE in each set.
Basic training sessions will be held on:
Monday April 23, 2-5 pm OR Wednesday April 25, 6:30-9:30 pm [NOTE: You must be available at ONE of those times to participate.]
Refresher training sessions will be held on:
Sunday April 29, 5-7 pm OR Monday April 30, 4-6 pm [NOTE: You must be available at ONE of these times to participate.]
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WORK AS AN INTERVIEWER, please submit the certificate of completion as well as your current C.V. by email to Ruth Milkman at Rmilkma[at]gc.cuny.edu. Please attach your CITI certificate AND your availability for the scheduled training sessions.
