* Two years applied experience with a major statistical package such as SAS, R, or Mplus, as evidenced by application materials or interview.
* Two years applied experience conducting data queries on given data spreadsheets, writing scripts to clean data, merging data sets, recoding variables, and creating composite scores, as evidenced by application materials or interview.
* One year experience implementing and interpreting output from advanced statistical analyses, such as applications of multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, and measurement models for at least one project, as evidenced by application materials or interview.
NOTE: To be appointed at the Postdoctoral Researcher title, it is necessary to have the PhD in hand. Appointments made without a diploma or certified transcript indicating an earned doctorate are conditional hires and are appointed on an acting basis.
Preferred Qualifications
* Completed coursework in advanced statistical methods, such as, Bayesian statistics, multilevel modeling, or structural equation modeling.
* Completed coursework in data management, data engineering, or data systems.
* Contributed to the methods section of at least one previously submitted grant application.
* One publication or presentation using advanced statistical analyses, such as, multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, or measurement validation study.
* One method-focused publication or presentation such as a methods tutorial, simulation-based research, or other type of paper that advances quantitative methodology.
* Experience in data visualization (e.g., creating charts) in Tableau, R, or other software for at least one project.
* Demonstrated contributions to the creation of at least one online survey questionnaire using platforms like Qualtrics or Survey Monkey, as evidenced by application materials or interview.
