The demography of religion team analyzes data on the religious identity and characteristics of populations. It produces reports describing the religious composition of countries as well as other topics at the intersection of religion and social trends (e.g. religion and educational attainment, gender differences in religious commitment levels). The U.S. survey research team produces reports that explore issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs. Through public opinion surveys and other quantitative tools, it studies religious groups in the U.S. and examines the influence of religion on politics and society. The people in these positions will work closely with other researchers on staff and will report to an Associate Director of Religion research. Primary Responsibilities Compiling and analyzing data from surveys and censuses Descriptive statistical analysis Creating tables and charts in Stata, Excel, Word and PowerPoint Contacting statistical agencies to request information and custom tables Data cleaning, maintaining and reviewing internal files and databases Number checking, fact checking, proofing Performing background research, including literature reviews, contacting subject matter experts and online data gathering Assisting with questionnaire development Coordinate the translation and checking of questionnaires
Education/Training/Experience B.A. degree is required. A concentration in sociology, political science, economics or another social science is desirable Strong quantitative skills, background in data management and analysis preferred Experience undertaking research using Stata, R, SPSS or other statistical software Mastery of descriptive statistics Knowledge and Skill Requirements Quantitative skills, including an ability to use Stata, SPSS or other statistical software Interest in public and/or international affairs, particularly in issues concerning religion and the intersection of religion and public life Strong verbal and written communications skills Facility using syntax commands to carefully document analysis using log files is desired Ability to balance numerous projects simultaneously Attention to detail, including exacting standards to maintain accuracy and impartiality in all work products Proven ability to communicate research results clearly and concisely Ability to work collaboratively and collegially with staff from the religion team, as well as with staff from other Pew Research Center projects and outside organizations Ability to balance multiple projects and meet tight deadlines while ensuring accuracy in data management, fact checking and research Ability to communicate in more than one language is advantageous
