Social Sciences Methodologist

About this work

The failure here is subtle: methodologically confident language wrapped around an inference the design cannot bear. You will build problems that isolate exactly that.

What you’ll do

• Write problems around study design and causal identification
• Assess whether causal claims are warranted by the design described
• Check statistical reasoning and interpretation
• Flag confident conclusions from unrepresentative data

What we’re looking for

• PhD or equivalent in a social science with methods training
• Practical experience designing or reviewing empirical studies
• No AI background required

Time commitment

5–12 hours per week, projects typically run 4–10 weeks

Pay and how you’re paid

$75–$120 per hour, paid every two weeks by bank transfer
