Data Communication Research Assistant Opportunity

The Litmus program invites applications for a Data Communication Research Assistant at the NYU Marron Institute. The Litmus team plans to build a site with a data-visualization interface in the style of gogoldfields.org/data-dashboards/ and with visual interest that reflects the community being served.

The team is looking for a creative graduate student who understands data and how to communicate it well to diverse audiences. In addition, the student will have experience with:

• Front-end web development (management of visual elements: fonts, color theory, etc.; CSS desired).
• Data visualization or dashboard development.
• Google Data Studio, Tableau, or Power BI.

To apply, please submit a CV and a cover letter (no more than 1 page) summarizing your experience and training related to the above requirements, together with a statement of how this position would further your career goals and aspirations. This position will run through the end of April and will require roughly 15 hours per week. Application materials should be emailed as a single PDF to marron.institute@nyu.edu no later than April 9.
