Now Open: 2nd Wave of Research Assistant Positions Open

Update as of 3/01/2018 – All positions have been filled

The Muse Collaborative is looking for three research assistants to work in a team-based environment and create/curate content for its hip-hop library. The researcher team will be tasked with studying and developing materials for a thematic set of 8 hip-hop albums, including but not limited to: accurate lyric sheets, links for sampled songs, original articles and publications for each album, artists’ biographies, and original pieces on hip-hop arts and culture. Researchers will also compile content for other album sets. While each member of the team isn’t expected to be proficient in every skill mentioned below, the group as a whole will have expertise in:

·» Research and journalism
·» Hip-hop history
·» Camden history and culture

Each researcher will be provided with office supplies, program training, and training materials, and will be compensated at $12.00/hr.
