The work may suit both students in social sciences (e.g., political science, economics, or sociology) and technical subjects (e.g., engineering). You have a strong interest in social issues and are accustomed to using and visualizing statistics.

The work will be done in R, so previous experience with this programming language is a requirement.

You are meticulous and have an easy time collaborating. You are pedagogical and can present results in an understandable way. You understand and can express yourself in Swedish both orally and in writing.
