POSITION: Community Development Field Research Interns (In-person; Part-Time May-June)
ORGANIZATION: The 3×3 Company with the NYC Department of Parks
About the Company: 3×3 is a women-led inclusive innovation studio designing for systemic change—from New York to New Delhi. We bring communities, the public sector, and private entities together as allies to create social transformation and impact.
About the Role and Background Context: 3×3 is currently working with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) to implement a Community Development Usership Survey (CD Usership Survey) study to capture dimensions of usership at three New York City parks: Pelham Bay Park, Prospect Park, and Van Cortlandt Park.
This study seeks to address two questions:
1) What is the relationship between low-and-moderate income residents and the study area parks?
2) What are the key characteristics of user-reported activities and perspectives in the study area parks?
To assist with the sampling and data collection methodologies that capture a representative sample of park users during the study period, 3×3 is seeking twelve (12) Field Researchers to provide assistance with outreach and research, including conducting intercept surveys and other methods of in-field data collection methods over the course of the year-long engagement. This engagement would blend knowledge of in-field research, public engagement, and workshop facilitation (as needed).
Field researchers will work under the supervision and guidance of a 3×3 program strategist on the research team as they conduct the activities described in this section. Throughout the course of the study period, field researchers will attend regular monthly touchpoint meetings with the supervising 3×3 team. These meetings will provide an opportunity for researchers to share key updates on their progress, report any issues they have encountered in the field, and receive feedback. These meetings will also provide an opportunity for the research team to provide additional training and support to the researchers as needed.
Key responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to:
○ Participate in onboarding and training sessions, including specific training related to research activities and the responsible conduct of human subjects research (HSR);
○ Reliably and consistently participate in field research activities (e.g. intercept surveys, interviews, contextual research, focus groups, etc., as applicable) according to the methods and schedule defined by the research team. A core responsibility for field researchers will be approaching park visitors and conducting intercept surveys in professional and respectful manner;
○ Taking field notes (and subsequently transcribing quotations) associated with surveys, interviews, observations, focus groups, or other methods as applicable;
○ Logging field data collection blocks, including ensuring the comprehensive recording of applicable data collected from intercept surveys, including properly logging responses, collecting demographic information (as needed), and tracking the location and time of survey responses;
○ Ensuring the quality of the data collected, including monitoring the consistency of responses and following appropriate quality control procedures to ensure data accuracy; ○ Communicating and collaborating effectively with other field researchers and supervising research team members;
○ Participating in synthesis activities to distill critical insights, and assisting as requested with the synthesis and reporting phase of the study
Duration: May 2023 through June 2024 (20 hours/week)
Compensation: $22.00/hour
To be considered, please submit your application via this link.
● Your application should include a cover letter, your resume or CV, and work samples (i.e., research or writing samples). Please note that work samples are desired but not required if your resume indicates experience in conducting research.
● In your application, please highlight any relevant cultural and linguistic competencies that may be an asset to the research focus (e.g., bilingualism, familiarity with a neighborhood surrounding a park site).
● The application window will close on Friday, May 5, 2023 at midnight.
