Job Description
The Health Services Research & Population Health Department is conducting a research study on consumer beverage choices with and without Nutri-Grade label display, using a tablet-based experimental shopping task administered in public locations. The study uses an intercept recruitment approach: trained interviewers will approach passersby, invite them to participate in a short, voluntary study, screen for eligibility, and guide participants through a standardized tablet-based food selection task and brief survey.
We are looking to hire up to 4 interviewers to support consistent field implementation, ensure high-quality data collection, uphold participant privacy and informed consent procedures, and achieve recruitment targets across scheduled fieldwork sessions (Working hours approximately 15 hours/week).

- Administer informed consent procedures and ensure participants understand voluntariness, confidentiality, and withdrawal rights.
Data collection (tablet-based)
- Guide participants through the tablet-based food choice/shopping task and short pre/post surveys, ensuring protocol adherence.
- Ensure data completeness and quality checks (e.g., required fields completed, time stamps recorded) before ending each session.
Qualifications
- Strong interpersonal communication skills; comfortable approaching members of the public respectfully.
- Fluent in English; additional proficiency in Mandarin or Malayis an advantage
- Reliable and punctual; able to commit 15 hours/week for the field period
- Comfortable using a tablet (iPad/Android/Windows) and following step-by-step protocols.
- High attention to detail; able to follow scripts, eligibility rules, and data-entry checks.
- Professional conduct and sensitivity when interacting with diverse participants.
- Willingness to complete mandatory study training (e.g., consent procedures, role-play practice, data security).
