Wanted: freelance researchers for The Spectator

Summer’s coming, and we’re looking for some specialist research help at The Spectator. We like to answer the questions other publications don’t, which means digging beyond the available social data and widening the parameters for debate. And we’d like some help, ideally from a specialist.

You could be a PhD student looking for a few hours’ extra work, a specialist who knows exactly how to mine the Millennium Cohort Study database or a genius school dropout who can do a Lisbeth Salander (pictured, above) for social data.

The pay is hourly, and will be commensurate with your experience (ie, how quickly you can get the stuff done). You can (of course) work from home. If you can answer three of the below questions (of have a clear idea how you would answer them, with enough time) then drop a line to editor@spectator.co.uk with RESEARCH in the subject heading.

  1. Draw a stacked bar chart with salary paid on the X-axis and take-home pay on the Y-axis, showing the extent to which benefits and tax credits top up low pay.
