Rising Tides Research Institute (RTRI), the research department of Arts Business Collaborative, is seeking applicants for a part-time, paid, research assistant role for a nine month, project-specific internship. The applicant must currently be enrolled in a CUNY graduate program in the humanities, social sciences, arts administration or closely related field and have experience working through a critical race theory lens. Interest in either dance or theater is necessary, with secondary interests in sociology, political science or economics considered useful. The position requires extensive collaboration with a small research team, the capacity to execute independently when working remotely, experience with mixed-method research frameworks, well-developed organizational skills, a desire to engage in community organizing and the arts, impeccable discretion, outstanding communication skills, the capacity to conduct intake interviews and the desire to participate in all phases of the research process deemed necessary by the primary investigator and lead researchers.
