Freelance Researchers
Urban Mapping is rapidly expanding and needs help from intelligent and reliable freelancers in many parts of the world. If you have an interest in geography, strong computer skills (PC or Mac), a high speed internet
connection, and are available for a minimum of 10 hours per week, we would be interested in learning more about you. The work is ideal for students or those looking to supplement their income by moonlighting.
We are presently looking for help in Canada and Europe (initially UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain). This does not mean that you have to live there, but you must have (at least) general familiarity with several cities
within each country. Native speakers are strongly preferred, but fluency may also be ok.
The work involves one of two areas: researching informal spaces (ie, neighborhoods) and drawing them using a straight-forward computer program, and researching mass transit (ie, subway) systems in major cities, collecting routing and scheduling data. We will provide you with all training materials.
The pay is US$10-20 per hour depending on experience and commitment. Bonuses for quality and total number of hours worked. Payment will be bi-weekly by PayPal or another payment service.
To learn more, please forward a resume and brief note of interest to us at talent@urbanmapping.com. Also state your availability, languages in which you are fluent and where you live.
