Admin & Research Virtual Assistant
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I’m looking for a reliable virtual assistant who can keep my day-to-day operations running smoothly while also tackling ongoing academic research projects. On the administrative side you’ll triage and respond to email, set up simple rules or labels so nothing slips through the cracks, and draft, format, or polish internal and client-facing documents in Word or Google Docs. Accuracy, clear writing, and good judgement on when to flag items for my review are essential.
Parallel to that, I need help gathering and synthesising scholarly sources. You’ll search academic databases, pull key findings into concise notes, track citations in Zotero or a similar reference manager, and deliver short annotated summaries that I can plug directly into literature reviews.
Most communication happens over Slack and shared Google Drive folders. I’ll provide templates, access to journals, and a weekly priorities list; you keep everything organised, deliver updates before deadlines, and proactively suggest improvements when you spot a gap.
If you have a solid grasp of academic search tools, an eye for detail in written communication, and can turn raw information into clean, ready-to-use material, I’d love to work together.
