This type of work is common in fields like market research, academic studies, and government censuses.

Temporary Data Collection roles often require quickly adapting to new tools, procedures, or datasets with minimal onboarding. You may encounter repetitive tasks, tight deadlines, or varying data quality, which can be challenging without strong attention to detail and organizational skills. To prepare, familiarize yourself with common data entry software, practice maintaining accuracy under time constraints, and be proactive in asking clarifying questions about project requirements. Building good communication with supervisors and team members will also help ensure data integrity and workflow efficiency.

Job description

About the Organization: Windwalker Group is an award-winning, minority-owned small business with over 25 years of experience providing professional training, evaluation services, and other types of professional services to our partner clients.
Type of Position: Part-time, temporary, hourly, 1099 position
Location: Data collection will be conducted on-site in Triangle, VA at the National Museum of the Marine Corps (NMMC)
Role Summary: Windwalker is seeking qualified data collectors to gather survey and observation data on-site at NMMC. By collecting information about visitor experiences through surveys and observations, the museum aims to gain valuable insights that will inform future museum initiatives. Data collectors must be:

  • Available throughout the cyclical and multiple data collection periods between 2024 to 2029. Each data collection period will be 15 to 40 days.
  • Available to work shifts of 4 to 8 hours a day from when the museum opens to when it closes (9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time). Schedule will be based on your availability and our needs.
  • Able to recruit museum visitors to participate in surveys by:
    • Talking with visitors about the project and survey, addressing any questions before and after participation.
    • Informing them of their participation rights (voluntary participation, anonymity, confidentiality, and the right to withdraw).
    • Explaining the survey process, including question types and completion options (paper and digital).
    • Providing visitors with both paper and digital survey options (QR code)
  • Able to conduct multiple observations of museum visitors in the galleries. This involves:
    • Observing museum visitors' behaviors relevant to the research objectives, such as interactions with exhibits and time spent in different areas within the gallery.
    • Recording observation notes on an observation protocol document.
    • Maintaining a distance from visitors to avoid interfering with their experiences and making them feel observed.
  • Bring a personal smart phone for participants to complete surveys electronically via QR code.
  • Safeguard all survey data (paper and digital), observation notes, and adhere to specific guidelines for submitting data to the project lead.
  • Maintain a professional demeanor and attire, adhering to DoD civilian attire requirements while at the museum.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree (Master's degree preferred) in museum studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, art history, research, or a related field with data collection experience required.
  • Prior experience or coursework in research and data collection.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Experience in the museum field is a plus.

To Apply: Please submit your updated resume, highlighting your most recent qualifications and relevant experience over the past 5 years.
