Short-Term Data Analysis Work Opportunity (50 hours @ $18/hour) - Chicago

Dear UPP students,
I’m advertising a short term, approximately 50 hour data analysis job that pays $18 per hour. You could do the analysis according to your schedule, ideally not to exceed a total time period of 4 weeks (if you can and if you want to, you can also finish the job in a week). At a minimum, you should be able to devote 15 hours per week.

About the job:

Broadly speaking, it is about identifying all census tract to census tract work flows contained within the boundaries of approximately 80 Census defined Urbanized Areas. The end result is city specific matrix of tract-to-tract work flows. I have the raw data; your task is really about number crunching. You should feel comfortable working with Excel. I have a work-flow laid out, you just need to follow instructions.

You also need to identify city hall locations for the principal city in the 80 Urbanized Areas (New York city hall for the New York – Newark UA, for example). You need Google Earth to complete this task. I can also show you how to create points and store their lat-longs in an Excel file.

Please write me if you are interested or if you have any questions
