researchWe are looking for a researcher who will work with our team to identify accommodations available for workers with disabilities. The intern will investigate the myriad of accommodations which support workers with disabilities and develop a list which covers all relevant workplace accommodations. If you are looking to expand your research portfolio, we want to hear from you!

- Organize the information into a clear and comprehensive list, and categorize the accommodations by types, disability category, definitions, documentation requirements, industries, etc.
- Verify the accuracy and completeness of the list through additional research or feedback from experts in the field
- Document the methods and sources used in the research and create a report or presentation to share the findings
The intern will be required to support the development of the accommodation dataset and provide an overview of the components they built within that dataset.
- Provision of the necessary resources and guidance to carry out their research effectively.
- access to relevant databases, tools, and software, as well as regular check-ins with a supervisor or mentor to provide feedback and answer any questions.
