Research Assistant and Data Analysis Support Needed
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am preparing a study that draws on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, and I need an experienced collaborator who can guide the entire documentation process while taking on three key tasks: a thorough literature review, rigorous data analysis, and clear report writing.
The project already has a broad research question and an initial outline, but I now need help refining the mixed-methods approach, collecting or organizing the relevant datasets, and turning raw findings into a publishable narrative. You should feel comfortable moving between statistical techniques (R, SPSS, Stata or Python are all welcome) and qualitative coding tools such as NVivo or MAXQDA, then weaving those insights together in a concise, well-referenced report.
Deliverables
• Annotated literature matrix and synthesis summary
• Cleaned, fully documented quantitative dataset with accompanying code/outputs
• Thematic coding files for qualitative material
• Integrated results section linking quantitative trends with qualitative themes
• Final report draft (≈5,000–7,000 words) ready for peer feedback
I will supply existing references, data sources and a template for the final document. Please tell me about comparable mixed-methods projects you’ve completed, the software you prefer for stats and coding, and how quickly you can deliver the first literature synthesis.
