Additional comments:
This is an ideal position for a math or science major. There is the potential for a motivated student to
learn data manipulation and analysis using high level statistical software as well as presentation skills
applicable to research and further education. This position also includes some mundane tasks such
as label making and maintaining paper files. Potential candidates will be asked to complete an
assessment of Excel and Word skills. This assessment will be scheduled at the Test Center prior to
final selection for the position. Potential candidates must be prepared to work in a professional,
deadline driven environment. Attention to detail is critical. Willingness to research and practice
needed skills is desirable (i.e., SPSS statistical software.)
