Hello, I'm a PhD scholar seeking to use my skills to help others. I can conduct or assist in various types of research projects such as those that rely on existing local, national or international statistics, original or pre-existing survey data, original in-depth interviews or content analysis of news, music or movies. I can also provide access to research software or build custom research software. I can complete small jobs on my own and I have a team of support staff to help with large jobs. Here's some more detail about my expertise: I have advanced skills in collecting, displaying and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data, and plenty of writing and editing experience. I am adept at using spss and nvivo for analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. I have completed many program evaluations of nonprofit and community organizations, published several academic articles and a book, and I am currently an editor of an academic journal. I serve as president, incoming chair, and incoming executive director of academic societies. I have strong organizing skills. I am also president of an academic nonprofit and director of my university social research laboratory. The social research lab and academic nonprofit have similar goals -- to provide a venue to collect and analyze data -- mostly statistical data, public opinion data, and in-depth interview data -- for scholars and nonprofits. This Odesk profile is part of our outreach to accept requests for our services. We also produce custom software solutions for academics and nonprofits. We have over a dozen pieces of software, with a focus on CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing), which includes recording, call center, random phone number generator, surveys, transcribing, and statistics software. We also develop solutions for database search and visualization for local, national and international statistics, mapping, and news, movie and music database searches. I have strong wordpress skills, including multisite. I can provide access to our existing software or have our team build your own custom research software.
