The iSchool islooking for an undergraduate or masters student interested in working during the Spring semester (and potentially during the Summer) on a research project focused on usage analysis of dockless bikes. This is an hourly RAship. The student will be required to commit 10hr/week. The hourly rate will be between $11-$15, commensurate with experience. The work will involve setting up a data collection pipeline from an api, working on data cleaning, visualizations, computing general statistics and insights about the data, and a preliminary exploration of a set of research questions.
The student needs to be proficient in Python and Javascript, and be familiar with visualization tools such as GeoPandas, Folium (or Leaflet).
If you are interested, please email me at vfrias@umd.edu with your resume.
