Under the guidance of the principal investigators, the Survey Researcher will employ research principles to orchestrate and participate in data collection initiatives, throughout California, for the California Farmworker Housing Study and other WCAHS affiliated projects. The role requires leveraging university policies, research protocols, and working with collaborating agencies to successfully design and conduct a statewide survey of farmworkers’ housing needs and preferences. Drawing upon experience and an understanding of community-based participatory research, the incumbent will work with a range of university researchers and outside agencies to develop and pilot an interviewer-administered (in Spanish) survey. They will collaborate with the study team to design a statewide data collection plan; travel throughout the state to conduct surveys with study participants; collect and enter data; and conduct basic analysis of the survey data. The role encompasses conducting research, designing, and validating survey instruments. The Survey Researcher will exhibit sound judgment in selecting methodologies and techniques to arrive at effective solutions.
