Tableau - Data Visualization Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Please Note: apply only if you know that you have between 3 to 5 hours a week to devote to this project. We cannot be successful in reducing school violence unless we can count on you. Thank you.

Please send a resumé listing your Tableau experience and projects. We would like to see what you have done. We are working with Tableau here in Seattle and need volunteers who have a minimum of two years of experience.

NoSchoolViolence.org is revolutionizing the way we understand and reduce school violence. We research police and social responses to school violence in order to create new types of databases. In order to do this, we are completing case study analyses of every school shooting since 1990. Our new database will provide data visualization insights from pattern analysis, treating each shooting as an ecosystem of interrelated elements. This is a radically different approach to school violence data because 99% of existing data on school violence are trend reports and provide no ability to analyse school violence patterns. We are seeking research assistants for this project.

Our teams of researchers need support in cleaning up our data sources and using them to create effective visualisations. Ideally, you will have experience of data visualisations (scatter, line, bar and box plots, maps, and histograms) as well as knowledge of analytics (clustering, classification, timeseries, linear and polynomial regression).

We also assume that you have background in using Alteryx and Tableau together in order to produce effective data visualisations. We look forward to working with you.
