Welcome to the P&G Smart Lab. This is where “what if” meets reality. We’re building an inspiring space for explorers, thinkers, and makers where we can work together to improve the future of home life around the world. Procter & Gamble is best known by our different brands. It’s likely you’ve used a few of our brands already today – Swiffer, Old Spice, Tampax, Always, Olay, Charmin, Bounty, Gillette, Tide, Gain, Cascade, Pepto Bismol, Dayquil, among many others. We impact about 5 billion – yes, you read that right – lives on a regular basis. We are building a place where we can ask some interesting questions about consumer behaviors, habits, and practices. Our work in the Smart Lab is breaking boundaries in the consumer behavior space. We’re using sensors and smart devices to study what people do. Think about it – would you remember how many sheets of toilet paper you used last Thursday? Most people wouldn’t. That’s why we’re doing things a little differently. We’re looking for motivated and detail-oriented students to help manually tag and classify actions (qualitative coding) captured on video that will enable our Consumer and Market Knowledge function for research. This role does not involve programming. You may be involved in other Smart Lab tasks as they arise. You will be a pretty good fit for this job if you have the following skills and abilities: You have a strong attention to detail, and you are organized You can work independently on repetitive tasks Excellent verbal and written communication skills Familiarity with Microsoft Excel/Spreadsheets Experience with action tagging / qualitative research is a plus but not required For the fall semester, you will be expected to work 15 – 20 hours a week, with possible continuation into spring – project and schedule dependent. This remote-optional role involves highly repetitive tasks with flexibility, but you can work at any time (nights, weekends, between classes, etc.). You also have the option to work physically in the Smart Lab during our posted hours of operation. This position is directed from the P&G Smart Lab at the University of Illinois Research Park in Champaign, IL. Please send your CV or resume in a Word or PDF format to Jarai Carter at carter.j.9@pg.com with the subject line “Qualitative Research Coder Fall 2022.” Only undergraduate or graduate students attending the University of Illinois in fall of 2022 are eligible to apply.
