Weekend Research information

What is a Weekend Research job?

A Weekend Research job typically involves conducting research tasks during weekends, which can include data collection, literature reviews, experiments, or analysis depending on the field. These roles are often part-time and may be suited for students, professionals seeking extra income, or those unable to work during regular weekday hours. Weekend research positions can be found in academic institutions, private companies, or independent projects. Responsibilities and requirements vary by employer, but attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work independently are usually important.

What are some common challenges faced by Weekend Research professionals, and how can they effectively manage their workload?

Weekend Research professionals often face the challenge of balancing tight deadlines and limited access to colleagues or resources during non-standard hours. To manage these challenges, it’s important to plan tasks ahead, utilize digital collaboration tools, and communicate clearly with team members about progress and needs before the weekend. Additionally, setting clear objectives and prioritizing tasks can help ensure efficient use of time, allowing for thorough and high-quality research even when support is limited.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Weekend Researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Researcher, you typically need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a relevant academic background or experience in research methods. Familiarity with data analysis tools, online research databases, and citation management systems is often required. Excellent time management, self-motivation, and clear written communication make someone stand out in this position. These skills and qualities are essential for producing accurate, timely, and well-organized research findings, especially within tight weekend deadlines.

Job description

Murphy Research is a full-service custom market research firm known for our innovative research design and consultative approach. We produce groundbreaking qualitative and quantitative research through our focus on creative design, rigorous execution, and enduring insights. Our team thinks out of the box, follows a steady execution process, and is empowered to produce the highest quality research product that truly matters to our clients. At Murphy Research, we make difficult decisions easy.
We are actively seeking full-time Research Associates to join the Murphy Research consulting team. In this role, you will assist in the development, execution, and analysis of projects for a diverse range of Fortune 500 companies. All of our consulting researchers work across industries on diverse projects with clients like Gatorade, Disney, Visa, Door Dash, and Waymo. This is an exciting opportunity to launch your research consulting career as you support some of the world's most prominent brands with market assessment, brand strategy, product development, customer loyalty and engagement, and communications research.
About You:
  • You have a background in the social sciences: degree or lab experience in psychology, sociology, or anthropology preferred; you're familiar with quantitative and qualitative research methods from coursework, internships, or work experience
  • You've made the decision not to pursue a career in academic research. Instead, you're eager to apply your knowledge of research methods toward business strategies and help our clients make difficult decisions easier
  • You put client-service first while maintaining high expectations for quality work under fast-paced, ever-changing, and stressful circumstances
  • You delight the clients you serve and thrive when challenged by changes and new opportunities
  • You understand the importance of time management and the need to prioritize as you work on several projects simultaneously
  • You love teamwork and collaboration just as much as working independently
  • You are skilled at engaging with colleagues and clients in a virtual environment and you don't shy away from asking a question or adding your voice to the conversation on zoom
  • Your communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills are points of strength
  • You possess an ambitious curiosity and are self-motivated to take initiative
  • You're excited about pursuing a career working with top-notch brands in an ever-changing and dynamic environment that will be as challenging as it is rewarding
What You'll Be Doing:
  • In a fast-paced and deadline-driven consulting environment, you will utilize strong strategic thinking and analytic skill
  • You will collaborate with a team of researchers to execute study progress against tight project deadlines
  • With strong support from senior leadership, you'll receive on-the-job training and mentorship in project management, data processing, questionnaire design, report writing, and research methodology to ensure research is of the highest quality
  • Utilizing our rigorous project process you will manage vendor relationships, oversee data collection, address quality control issues with online programs, data tables, reports, and develop PPT report charts
  • You will work with large data sets, so an eye for detail is key; your proficiency in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is a must!
  • You will trust that career growth stems from the challenge inherent to custom market research designs - never doing the same thing twice; doing so, you'll launch and develop your career as a strong analyst, project manager, and research consultant
What We Offer:
  • Daily opportunity for variety, challenge, and growth
  • Great training, career advancement, and mentorship opportunities
  • A collaborative, team-oriented, and high-performing atmosphere
  • Starting Salary Range: $50,000 - $52,000
  • Competitive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401k matching, paid time off, in-person and virtual social activities
  • A commitment to a hybrid work model (all new hires must live within commuting distance of our Century City or downtown Minneapolis co-working spaces and join the team Tuesdays & Thursdays in-office); all team members also retain the support structure and flexibility to work remotely on non-office days.

Application Details:
    • Applying to this posting means you are available to start between now and May. If you are in a full-time academic program and looking to start this Summer, please apply to our other RA listing.
    • Applying to this posting means you are located in CA or MN.
    • Relocation is not offered; Murphy Research can only hire in the states of CA or MN at this time. In your application, please indicate which city you plan to work/reside.
    • Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and will remain open until all current positions are filled.
