[Open] Senior Researcher

About Sensata

Sensata is a startup focused on developing digital products aimed at understanding and measuring human behavior. Our biggest innovation lies on the intersection between digital technologies, a strong user experience, and the latest from the social sciences. We have developed a platform to collect self-reported data in a way that is closer to a gaming experience than a traditional survey. Our platform is enabling organizations, governments and private companies to understand the “why” behind their users' behavior.

At Sensata, we believe that research can be fun and agile, robust from a methodological point of view but also insightful and relevant for both the end user and the customer. To achieve that, we are building an interdisciplinary team that combines data science, social sciences, engineering, and a lot of creativity.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Researcher to lead projects in the following areas: Human rights issues, philanthropy, financial inclusion and behavioral change. Current target audiences include Latin America, USA, and Europe.

Within the context of the Sensata team, the day-to-day tasks of the Senior Researcher include leading research design and data analysis processes, producing reports, and providing technical advice of the projects. The role also includes daily interactions with the clients.
