Campus Researcher

Campus Researcher – Miami University (Ohio)

Location: Miami University (Ohio)

Short-term project: $1,000 fixed fee | Set your own schedule | ~35 hours over 2–3 weeks (~11.5 hrs per week)

Circle 8 is a consumer technology company looking for a current Miami University student to help us develop a strong, ground-level understanding of student communities and campus life.

This is a research role – not a sales, marketing, social media, or campus ambassador position.


What you'd do

You’ll independently research different parts of campus and speak with students across a range of communities to understand:

  • The communities and groups that meaningfully shape student life

  • How different parts of campus overlap and connect

  • The people and dynamics that connect different student communities


What you'll deliver

By the end of the project, you will:

  • Conduct at least 20 substantive conversations with Miami University students across different parts of campus life.

  • Complete a campus workbook covering key student communities, how they connect, student prospects, and major findings.

  • Identify the strongest communities and student prospects surfaced through the research.


Time & Pay

$1,000 fixed fee for approximately 35 hours of work over 2–3 weeks.

You set your own schedule – there are no shifts or fixed hours, just brief progress check-ins every few days. Some in-person research at Miami University is required.


You might be a good fit if you:

  • Know Miami University beyond your immediate friend group

  • Are curious about people, communities, and how campus actually works

  • Are comfortable starting a conversation with students you don’t already know

  • Work independently, stay on top of details, and reliably follow through on deadlines

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors preferred. No experience or campus leadership title required.
