August 18th, 2020

University of Illinois undergraduates are encouraged to apply for a position in my lab. I particularly welcome applications from students in the new iSchool BS/IS degree or in the university-wide informatics minor. While I only have 1 paid position open, I also supervise unpaid independent study projects.

Dr. Jodi Schneider and the Information Quality Lab <https://infoqualitylab.org> seek undergraduate research assistants for 100% REMOTE WORK. Past students have published research articles, presented posters, earned independent study credit, James Scholar research credit, etc.

One paid position in news analytics/data science for Assessing the Impact of Media Polarization on Public Health Emergencies, funded by the Cline Center for Advanced Research in the Social Sciences. (8hrs/week at $12.50/hour + possible independent study – 100% REMOTE WORK).
COVID-19 news analytics: We seek to understand how public health emergencies are reported and to assess the polarization and politicization of the U.S. news coverage. You will be responsible for testing and improving search parameters, investigating contextual information such as media bias and media circulation, using text mining and data science, and close reading of sample texts. You will work closely with a student who has worked on the opioid crisis – see the past work following poster (try the link TWICE – you have to log in with an Illinois NetID):
