Hello, I'm looking for any help / advice people can offer about finding a research assistant role for someone with a social sciences master's degree. It seems every job / position I see is medical based / needs a MSc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Thank you!

Hi Katie,
They are quite rare these days in a university setting as there's a tendency to write grants to include funding for a PhD student rather than an entry level RA. Public health departments can be an exception and do sometimes need social scientists. Otherwise government social research jobs or places like the National Institute for Economic and Social Research take Masters graduates particularly if you have quantitative methods skills. Depending on what your dissertation was on, think tanks are also worth a look.
