Major duties include researching topics, finding potential experts, assessing the credentials of experts, and entering that information into our database for downstream recruiting. Other research may be assigned as required, including locating and assessing data sources for licensing, assisting with writing quarterly newsletters, blogging, and survey follow-up.

Knowing Westlaw products is a huge plus.

Candidates must have excellent internet and traditional research skills as well as superior communication skills. If you don't like phones, this is not the gig for you. A four-year degree is preferred, but an associate degree in a research field will be considered. AIRS certifications will be considered favorably. This is an independent contractor position. The previous four Assistant Researchers have had JDs, and an MBA, respectively, and are now employed as FT researchers in our firm.
