- Evaluate AI-assisted outputs with appropriate attention to quality, reliability, and risk.
Quantitative Research Support- Support quantitative data collection and basic analysis, including surveys and structured datasets.
- Organize data and identify basic trends, patterns, and findings.

- Ability and willingness to learn new technologies, research tools, and workflows.
