Part-Time Data Analyst at the Center for Violence Prevention Research: Remote U.S. Opportunity Paying $35 Per Hour
Are you a data analyst, statistician, epidemiologist, public health professional, or data scientist looking for a meaningful part-time research opportunity? The Center for Violence Prevention Research is seeking a Part-Time Data Analyst to support rigorous quantitative research aimed at identifying effective strategies for preventing violence against women and children.
The position is fully remote within the United States, offers 10 hours of work per week, and pays $35 per hour. It is an opportunity for an analytically skilled professional to contribute to research that can influence policy, prevention programs, and practice.
About the Center for Violence Prevention Research
The Center conducts rigorous research focused on developing and evaluating community-based strategies for violence prevention. Its work seeks to answer two important questions: Does a prevention strategy work, and how, for whom, and in what settings does it work?
By generating stronger evidence about effective prevention approaches, the organization aims to help improve programs and policies addressing violence in different communities.
The Center is growing rapidly and is looking for team members who can work independently, collaborate effectively, and maintain high standards of research quality.
About the Part-Time Data Analyst Role
The Data Analyst will report to the Senior Data Analyst and contribute to quantitative research across multiple projects.
The successful candidate will work with survey data, national surveillance datasets, and other complex sources. Their responsibilities will include preparing datasets, conducting statistical analyses, responding to research requests, documenting analytical procedures, and helping communicate findings.
This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data and wants to apply technical skills to research with real-world policy and public health implications.
Key Responsibilities
A major component of the position involves data cleaning and preparation. The analyst will clean, screen, and validate datasets while identifying problems such as missing information, outliers, fraudulent responses, and inconsistent coding.
The analyst will also prepare analysis-ready datasets and maintain organized documentation to support secure and reproducible research workflows.
Another important responsibility is quantitative analysis. The successful candidate will conduct descriptive and preliminary statistical analyses, support analysis plans, and perform sensitivity checks and basic model diagnostics.
The role also includes responding to ad hoc data requests from researchers, principal investigators, and project managers. Analysts may need to conduct targeted analyses, identify important patterns, and communicate findings in a clear format for different audiences.
Reproducible Research and Documentation
The Center places strong emphasis on research transparency and reproducibility.
The Data Analyst will be expected to save and archive analytical code, maintain documentation of data transformations and analytical decisions, and contribute to codebooks and analysis pipelines.
Experience with version control, secure data storage, and structured documentation will therefore be valuable.
The analyst may also assist with preparing tables, figures, and summary statistics for research manuscripts, reports, and presentations.
Required Qualifications
Applicants must have a Master’s degree in statistics, epidemiology, public health, social work, psychology, data science, or a related discipline.
Strong technical skills are also essential. Candidates must be proficient in R for data management and statistical analysis and have demonstrated experience cleaning, managing, and preparing datasets.
Applicants should also have experience conducting descriptive and inferential statistical analyses and understand reproducible research practices, including code documentation and version control.
Important: U.S. Work Authorization Required
This opportunity is specifically listed as Remote – USA Based.
Applicants must have authorization to work in the United States. Therefore, being able to work remotely does not mean that the position is open internationally. Candidates located outside the United States who do not have U.S. work authorization would not meet this stated requirement.
Preferred Experience
The Center would particularly value candidates with experience working with national surveillance systems, surveys, restricted-access administrative datasets, or sources such as NVDRS, NCANDS, and vital records.
Strong quantitative research skills, attention to detail, organization, independence, and the ability to manage multiple requests are also desirable.
Salary and Remote Benefits
The position pays $35 per hour for approximately 10 hours per week.
The Center also provides work-from-home stipends covering areas such as phone, internet, utilities, and equipment. Staff are expected to maintain a home office with internet and phone access, while a computer and necessary software will be provided.
Although employees work from home, the organization emphasizes that the team remains highly collaborative, with regular interaction among staff.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should prepare:
- A cover letter explaining their interest and relevant experience
- A resume or CV
- A brief writing sample or code sample demonstrating data management or analysis skills, which is optional but encouraged
Candidates should ensure their application demonstrates proficiency in R, quantitative analysis, data cleaning, and reproducible research.
For qualified U.S.-based professionals, this part-time position offers an opportunity to combine technical data skills with research designed to improve violence prevention strategies and inform policy and practice.
Important: International applicants should carefully note the stated U.S. work-authorization requirement before investing time in an application.
