Hello All,

Arab Barometer is hiring a data analyst. This is a great position for someone who is coming out of undergrad with some prior R knowledge, or someone who wants some experience with research before starting a graduate program. We are a close-knit team primarily based in DC, but very accommodating to remote workers. A basic comfort with R is required, but what's more important is being able to learn skills quickly. Any experience with Arabic is a plus. Please share widely, especially with new grads. I am happy to answer any questions about the position.

Overview

Housed at Princeton University, Arab Barometer is a nonpartisan research network that provides insight into the social, political, and economic attitudes and values of citizens across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We have been conducting high quality and reliable public opinion surveys since 2006, making us the longest-standing and the largest repository of publicly available data on the views of citizens in the region.

The position also assists in data analysis for research projects including modeling, diagnostics, and graphic visualization for reports, articles and other publications.



Arab Barometer is a close-knit team and the Data Analyst will be working directly with the project director, research associates, and communication associates.
