Research Assistant - University of Dundee
Statistical Project - £10,000
A research assistant or advanced PhD student with highly developed quantitative skills is required together with a local supervisor, to undertake the construction of norms for a reading test. The work needs doing within the next 3 months. £10,000 is available for this work, divided between research assistant and supervisor as they agree. Two sets of data are available as csv files. These require a little cleaning and the computing of a few new variables. Standardised Scores, Percentile Ranks and Reading Ages are to be developed. A few minor analyses are also requested (variation by gender and region, split-half reliability). Test-retest reliability could be analysed if time permitted.
Please express your interest by July 16th, sending to Professor Keith Topping, University of Dundee, k.j.topping@dundee.ac.uk, indicating name and status of research assistant and supervisor and (briefly) relevant expertise. Expressions of interest will be reviewed on July 17th, when a full specification will be available.
