JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
The Survey Research Center (SRC) at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking self-motivated, reliable people as part-time phone interviewers. There is currently one phone study for which the SRC is actively hiring:
A state-wide research project about U.S. residents’ health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services.
Interviewers will be asked to use a computer or laptop to administer carefully developed research questionnaires via telephone to respondents (people) in Pennsylvania from all walks of life. The position requires working evenings and on the weekends and can be in-person or remote.
Staff members are requested to work at least 8-10 hours a week.
Candidates must have reliable transportation if they work in-person, or reliable internet if they work remotely. Positions are available immediately.
