Field Interviewers

Emory University’s Policy Analysis Laboratory is seeking interviewers to support its evaluation of Atlanta Housing’s (formerly Atlanta Housing Authority) Moving to Work program, an initiative which attempts to create healthy mixed-income communities and self-sufficient families through a range of interconnected strategies. The opportunity is a short-term commitment, lasting from March through the end of June and involves field interviewers conducting on-site and in-home interviews with households receiving housing assistance through the Atlanta Housing Authority and other housing authorities in the greater Atlanta area. There is no cold-calling or sales involved, but rather field interviewers will be assigned to households who’ve expressed a willingness to participate. This is the third round of field research (initial interviews were conducted in Spring/Summer 2013 and 2015) and we will be interviewing those households who have indicated an interest in continuing to participate in the study.

Interviewers will be hired as independent consultants and will be compensated $50.00 per interview, inclusive of interview and travel time, mileage reimbursement, and administrative follow-up. It is anticipated that most interviews will be completed in an hour or less.

In order to participate, potential field interviewers must undergo training and complete an online research certification. Individuals with past experience conducting face-to-face surveys, particularly with individuals from low-income populations are especially encouraged to apply.
