About the role
Survey Research Center Phone Interviewer Position The Survey Research Center (SRC) at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking self-motivated, reliable people as part-time phone interviewers. From August to September of 2026, we will be actively hiring for a state-wide research project about Pennsylvanians' engagement in online gambling. Interviewers will be asked to use a computer to administer carefully developed research questionnaires via telephone to respondents (people) in Pennsylvania from all walks of life. Staff members are requested to work at least 8-10 hours a week and can work up to 20 hours a week. The project is anticipated to run from September 2026 to April 2027. Calls are made daily during data collection from 10 am to 9 pm, and typical shifts are 3 hours long. Depending on location and qualifications, candidates can be hired to work in person or remotely. Candidates must have reliable transportation if they work in-person or reliable internet and access to a computer if they work remotely. Positions are available immediately. No prior experience in a call center or research is necessary. Successful candidates will receive paid training sessions developed by experienced managers to help them become a competent and effective interviewer. These positions are a great opportunity for those looking for flexible part-time work or to get involved in research. To apply, please submit a cover letter and resume.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
