Calling all budding social scientists! Help us gain a better understanding of Shedd Aquarium’s diverse audiences: who they are, why they come, what engages them, what they learn and how they connect to the aquarium. Specialized training provides volunteers with concrete social science research skills, allowing them to be at the heart of gathering data about Shedd’s guests. Responsibilities include assisting with program and exhibit evaluations, collecting data through interviews, surveys and observations, helping with data entry, and acting as a knowledgeable and friendly face of the aquarium.

This position is ideal for those with an interest in research and evaluation, museum studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, marketing, education, learning sciences and for those who want to gain practical, applied social science research skills.
