Job Title: Linguistics Consultant – German Specialist

Description:

Position Summary:
Verilogue is seeking an enthusiastic language and discourse specialist who is
interested in a research consulting opportunity. The ideal candidate will be a
native German speaker, have training in interactional sociolinguistics (e.g.,
conversation analysis, narrative analysis, ethnographic methods,
sociolinguistic fieldwork, etc.), the ability to identify and clearly
communicate research insights, and the nimbleness required to juggle academic
theory and business sensibility.

Verilogue is a US-based research company that focuses on healthcare
communication. Verilogue’s mission is to inspire communication that makes a
positive impact on healthcare practitioners, patients, and their families. We
live in the heart of the conversation and draw insight from interactions with
the human in mind. As a consultant with Verilogue, your research on
physician-patient conversations will help our clients be a “fly-on-the-wall”
in the exam-room and your insights will inspire them to improve disease
education, build treatment awareness, and establish trusting relationships in
the healthcare space.

Essential Duties/ Responsibilities:

As a researcher, you won’t have to worry about transcribing your own data, but
we will look to you to:
- Analyze conversations between healthcare professionals and patients using
audio recordings of visits in German, transcripts in German and transcripts
translated into English. 
- Synthesize linguistic patterns into coherent and meaningful insights for
client marketing research teams.
- Ensure that Verilogue’s researcher team understands cultural nuances and
implications unique to healthcare conversations in Germany.
- Communicate German language findings to an English-speaking team of
researchers at Verilogue
- Share research findings with the Verilogue team through written reports
(PowerPoint) and telephone presentations.

In addition to being intensely curious about language, we also expect our
consultants to have:
- Polished writing and presentation skills (in English).
- A strong sense of initiative, independence, and ingenuity.
- Excellent interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills.
- An innate sense of organization and an aptitude for project management
- A strong interest in understanding and addressing complex research
questions.
- A commitment to promised deadlines.
- An interest in the healthcare industry.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

Education/Experience:
- An advanced degree in linguistics, or other related fields with advanced
coursework in linguistics
- Healthcare experience is preferred
