The Case Centre on Public Leadership is looking for a temporary Research Assistant to develop clear and accessible data visualisations for teaching material used at the Blavatnik School and beyond.
The work entails finding data from high-quality sources and creating a range of simple data visualisations, such as tables, graphs, charts, and other graphics, under the guidance of the senior members of the team. The data will cover a range of topics, from economics to politics, and a range of countries, such as Ghana and Greece. The postholder should be comfortable working with quantitative data, highly detail-oriented, and have extensive experience with Microsoft tools such as Excel. Knowledge of accessibility requirements for published teaching materials is a plus.
We are looking for the successful candidates to start immediately in February.

Payment will be at the rate of £18.80 per hour.
