Research Assistant Telephone Interviewer

Research Assistant Telephone Interviewers play a vital role at the Center for Social and Behavioral Research (CSBR). They primarily conduct scientific studies by making calls, asking survey questions to participants, and accurately recording the answers. Interviewers are required to be professional and courteous, have excellent communication skills, maintain confidentiality, and pay attention to fine detail. There are no telemarketing or political calls, and we do not ask for money. Interviewers may also be assigned other tasks to assist with research projects including paper survey data entry, simulated client calling, and mailing preparation.
