Team member will assist in the provision of data collection, transcription, and qualitative analysis services to support social science research.

The research goal is to understand the decision-making process and how context shapes behavior and preferences related to the environment. The team member will also have the opportunity to learn about and contribute to environmental decision-making for a real-world problem revolving around ecological outcomes and socioeconomic benefits of restoration and redevelopment of an urban river through a study of how actors navigate the process.
