Class Concept
This is technician level work in organizing, collecting, compiling, interpreting, and implementing research projects and/or information reporting for behavioral, economic, educational, public health, medical, public policy, sociology, and closely related areas. Work is performed to support research, or to develop, support, or evaluate public programs and policies.
Positons at this level may supervise the gathering, editing, tabulating, analyzing, interpreting and reporting of limited data sets or standardized data and information in a moderately large or complex project or program; or may personally gather, analyze and report results for projects requiring more discretionary, evaluative judgements. These positons work independently to establish intermediate goals, work methods, data gathering, reporting and other procedures, however, overall research or program goals, methodology, and conclusions are the responsibility of a higher lever research or program staff. Routine statistical analysis is performed independently using a wide variety of predetermined statistical procedures. This level differs from the Social/Statistical Research Assistant I level by the increased independency and judgment of determining valid information, a greater variety of data needs, or may have supervisory responsibilities of lower level staff who are involved with the project.
