Subject: Data Services is hiring a Quantitative Specialist

Hi Professor Davis,

Data Services in the Library is looking to hire a quantitative
specialist to help assist students and faculty with data management and
basic statistics. It is a student wages position for 10-15 hrs a week
and a great opportunity for the right person to refine their data and
consulting skills.

I'm writing to see if you know anybody who might be a good match and
could encourage them to apply (particularly students who will not be
graduating this year). The ideal person:
- has good problem solving and people skills
- has a strong foundation in math or basic statistics
- is interested in learning SPSS & Stata

The job is posted on hiremason.gmu.edu (ID: 131984) for the next few
weeks and the description is also included below.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thank you,
Debby Kermer
Data Services Research Consultant

p.s. The student *cannot* have another job on campus and must be
available during normal business hours (M-F 10am-6pm). Teaching
experience is required, but even informal teaching/helping counts (like
helping a parent learn to use a smartphone). Pay is commensurate with
experience.
