Job Title: Part-Time Early Childhood Assessor

Location: Hamden, CT

The University of Oregon received a Department of Education grant to conduct a research project known as Math Ready-Supporting Early Number Sense (M-SENS). The M-SENS project tests the effectiveness of the ROOTS RISE curriculum, an integrated math and behavior program designed to target kindergarten readiness skills. Our client, which is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization, is conducting a randomized-control trial to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum on kindergarteners’ numeracy and behavioral skills.

On behalf of our client, Noor Workforce Solutions is seeking Part-Time Data Collectors in Hamden, CT to conduct one-on-one assessments with kindergarten students in the schools. There will be two rounds of data collection: September-October 2026 and again in January-February 2027. All assessments will be conducted in person over 2–3 consecutive weeks in each round. Data collectors are required to attend trainings prior to each round of data collection, tentatively scheduled to occur in late August/early September 2026 and in January 2027.

This is an hourly position starting at $30.00 with approximately 20-30 hours of work per week per round of data collection. Testing is expected to occur sometime between 8am and 2pm, Monday-Friday. Exact testing times will vary by school, but shifts are typically at least 4 hours. Data collectors are responsible for conducting the assessments and accurate data entry each day and must also be available for occasional team meetings via MS Teams and phone. The hourly rate is commensurate with experience.
