Seeking Research Assistant
Interested in the use of mobile phones and laptops in Africa? I am a 5th year
PhD student in the School of Information looking for undergrad or masters
students to assist with the analysis of data collected during my
year-long field study of health facility usage of mobile phones and laptops in
Southwest Uganda.
Work will entail: Review of interviews, notes, log files and surveys,
tagging and cataloging of photos, Analysis and review of scanned electronic financial and medical documents. Ability to generate useful graphs a plus. Familiarity with LaTeX, python, php a plus. From this experience, you will have the opportunity to learn lots about how real Ugandan health workers use computers in their health facilties and how bulk SMS platforms perform in this Ugandan healthcare context.
If appropriate you may use work from this project towards coursework (e.g.
INFO 181), and/or get research credit. I am willing to negotiate pay and hours.
E-mail Melissa Densmore at mho@ischool.berkeley.edu ASAP (by 2/11 at
latest) with a list of qualifications (resume, relevant coursework,
references, brief(!) statement of interest, etc).
