describing those statistical analyses, (8) interface with the public about
the panel study, (9) work with the Principal Investigators and staff at the
University of Michigan to process, clean, and build the panel study

NSF grant, at least 4 years. This position offers challenging work and lots
of opportunities for professional growth.
