Today, government, corporate, and nonprofit clients around the world partner with us to transform increasingly complex information into useful knowledge.
IDEAL CANDIDATES:
Are you a self-motivated, people person looking to make meaningful contributions through work that impacts the nation? This NORC field interviewer opportunity offers a flexible role where you will engage with all types of people in the area to collect data and information about social trends and attitudes and how they change over time. Our field interviewers pay close attention to details, making sure all data is appropriately recorded so our researchers can use the information you collect to learn more about how our world works. Own your workload with a great amount of autonomy, while still being a team player sharing accurate and thorough data reports with colleagues in a timely fashion.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Interviewers will play a role in gathering data that helps to monitor and explain trends and constants in attitudes and behaviors in American society over time.

In-person and remote trainings will take place in the last half of March 2020. We’ll pay to get you to the trainings if you are selected to participate in one of the in-person trainings!
Interviewers will make initial contact with respondents in a productive and efficient manner, documenting the information and activity in NORC’s system in a consistent and professional manner.
Interviewers will report back to field managers regularly with thorough and detailed data (note: NORC will outline data quality expectations in training).
Each interviewer is expected to meet or exceed data quality targets.

Work is part-time and temporary, usually 20-25 hours per week, with short periods of up to 40 hours per week.
Interviewers will work primarily during evenings and on weekends and will work 3-5 days per week, including one weekend day. On the days interviewers work, the most effective interviewers devote 4-6 hours per shift to canvassing homes and interviewing.
