Job Description
Looking for a Data Entry Aide (must be a Federal Work Study undergraduate student) to enter de-identified study data into an Excel spreadsheet. The study data will be transferred from electronically scanned copies to an Excel spreadsheet for later data analysis. The ideal candidate will be computer savvy, efficient, organized and possess a keen eye for detail. The candidate must have regular access to a computer with an internet connection. The hired individual will report to the study’s principal investigator (PI) and/or co-investigator. Understanding data confidentiality principles is a must.
You will be expected to work 10 hours per week. You may work additional hours as your schedule and FWS allow. The timeframe of the position may be extended based on data entry progress and completion, so flexibility beyond the end date is highly desired. The data entry aide will work with a team mostly independently (all data entry work will be completed remotely), with weekly virtual check-in meetings. This position will give the hired individual an opportunity to work with global public health research data as part of the School of Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Division.
