Job Description:

The ERC seeks GAs to support its mission of advancing empirical reasoning, data literacy, and inclusive data practices across the Barnard curriculum. GAs will contribute to instructional support, workshop development, student consultation, and programmatic initiatives that strengthen the ERC's role in applied quantitative, qualitative, and spatial learning.
