Call for Qualitative Fellow

We’re looking for a Qualitative Fellow to lead our MAXQDA Fundamentals series during the coming spring semester (with possibility to continue). This will be both online and in-person.

This is D-Lab's 2-hour introduction to MAXQDA for students, faculty, and researchers.

In the workshop you will help participants learn how to:

Download, install, and set up MAXQDA
Import and organize different data types (text, PDFs, spreadsheets, multimedia) into MAXQDA
Use manual coding and autocoding tools to label/categorize data
Use key analytic tools such as memos, visual summaries, summary grids, “Document Portrait,” etc. to explore patterns and themes
Navigate the MAXQDA interface (Document System, Code System, Document Browser, Retrieved Segments, etc.)
A brief overview of MAXQDA TeamCloud for collaborative work

Lead 6 workshops during the spring semester
Ensure participants are prepared (e.g. MAXQDA installed ahead of time, materials distributed)
Use clear examples & support documents, guiding both beginners and people with some experience
Be comfortable with both the technical side of MAXQDA and the pedagogical side (facilitation, helping people troubleshoot, etc.)
Possibly help with adaptation / updating of workshop materials, collecting feedback, and refining future offerings

Stipend: $1,300
Time commitment: Workshop facilitation + prep + coordination. And as always, D-Lab does not grade, take attendance, maintain office hours, or monitor participants.
Expect to begin in January 2026, and run through end of spring semester
