E-Mail: guhin@soc.ucla.edu
Division/Department: Sociology
Expected Weekly Time Commitment: 3-10 hours

Job Description:

Students will work with me (Prof. Guhin) to hand-code newspaper articles that mentions schools and education. We will then use these codes as data to coauthor an article or articles about the nature of schooling.

Previous research experience–especially with qualitative coding–is valuable but not necessary. Students should be able to meet weekly with other lab members and do at least three hours of coding a week. Experience with Python and data scraping would be wonderful but is not required.

Application Instructions:

Please e-mail a cover letter outlining your qualifications for this project and a resume to me (Prof. Guhin) at guhin@soc.ucla.edu.

Please also indicate how important it is for you to receive course credit for this research and whether you would want to do so for one or two credit hours.
