On Campus Stats/Data Student Position: The Mustang News


The Mustang Media Group, specifically Mustang News, is looking for someone who is eager to have hands-on experience gathering, interpreting, and visualizing data. This is a paid position. Last year, we had a graduating statistics senior who worked primarily with our news data team The Hill. This year's responsibilities included:
  • Gathering and cleaning data
  • Interpreting statistics
  • Consulting on/producing visualizations for Mustang News stories
The previous person in this position also mentioned developing scripts to scrape data online using R, so some familiarity with that program would be appreciated (but is not required).
