Job Description
As a Research Analytics Specialist, you’ll play a hands-on role across brand strategy, media buying, and market research for the University’s Enterprise Marketing & Research team. This full-time position works closely with the Marketing Analyst and the Director of Enterprise Marketing & Research to design and run both quantitative and qualitative studies, from programming and fielding surveys to supporting focus groups and interviews, then dig into the results to identify the key findings and themes that matter.
Beyond individual studies, you’ll collect, analyze, and interpret research and analytics data more broadly, turning it into clear, reliable reports for internal partners and external stakeholders across the University. Your work will directly inform brand strategy conversations, helping ensure the University’s positioning and messaging stay grounded in sound research rather than guesswork. You’ll also support media buying strategy by evaluating performance data and shaping recommendations that guide planning decisions.
As you grow into the role, you’ll take on greater ownership of research projects and analytics reporting from start to finish, becoming a more consistent point of contact for internal partners — a natural next step as you build deeper expertise in the University’s research and marketing landscape.
Education and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, statistics, data science, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Minimum 1-2 years of experience in marketing research (quantitative and/or qualitative), analytics, or a related field.
Skills and Knowledge
- Familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative market research methods, including survey design and programming, sampling, and moderating or supporting focus groups and interviews
- Working knowledge of basic principles of data science and statistics, including the ability to identify meaningful patterns and themes in research data
- Demonstrable ability to use common productivity software, including spreadsheets, for data collection and analysis
- Excellent time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple research projects and deadlines simultaneously
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex quantitative and qualitative data into clear, actionable insights
- Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse, cross-functional work groups, including close partnership with the Marketing Analyst and Director of Enterprise Marketing and Research
- Demonstrated interest in and aptitude for a broad range of marketing functions, including brand strategy and media buying
- Proficiency with data visualization or analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Tableau, Power BI) preferred
- Familiarity with survey platforms such as Qualtrics preferred
Responsibilities
- Assist the Marketing Analyst and Director of Enterprise Marketing and Research with the implementation and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative market research studies, including survey programming and fielding, and supporting qualitative sessions such as focus groups and interviews.
- Collect, analyze, and interpret marketing research and analytics data, producing clear and actionable reports for internal partners and external stakeholders. Includes reporting out to small and large groups.
- Support brand strategy initiatives by synthesizing research findings into big-picture insights that inform University brand positioning and messaging.
- Assist with media buying strategy by evaluating media performance data and providing recommendations to optimize media investments.
- Maintain and organize research and analytics documentation and data sources, ensuring accuracy and accessibility across the team.

About the Syracuse area
Syracuse is a medium-sized city situated in the geographic center of New York State approximately 250 miles northwest of New York City. The metro-area population totals approximately 500,000. The area offers a low cost of living and provides many social, cultural, and recreational options, including parks, museums, festivals, professional regional theater, and premier shopping venues. Syracuse and Central New York present a wide range of seasonal recreation and attractions ranging from water skiing and snow skiing, hiking in the Adirondacks, touring the historic sites, visiting wineries along the Finger Lakes, and biking on trails along the Erie Canal.
EEO Statement
Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law. This nondiscrimination policy covers admissions, employment, and access to and treatment in University programs, services, and activities.
Commitment to Supporting and Hiring Veterans
Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.
Commitment to a Respectful and Welcoming Community
Syracuse University fosters a welcoming learning environment where students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all aspects of campus life reflect a broad range of perspectives and experiences. The University community values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to engage with and appreciate the richness of backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences that shape our society. To achieve this, we strive to cultivate a community that respects and encourages open dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect.

Research Jobs in Syracuse: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a research job in Syracuse?
Focus on the sectors where Syracuse research hiring concentrates: higher education institutions along University Hill, health systems anchored in the East Side medical corridor, and technology and defense contractors operating near the inner ring. Candidates with laboratory experience, data analysis skills, or a graduate degree from a local university have a clear edge. Networking through Syracuse-area professional associations and applying directly to institutional research offices speeds up the process.
Which companies hire researchs in Syracuse?
Syracuse research roles are posted by Syracuse University, SUNY ESF, and EmVenio Research and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. The local employer mix leans toward universities, hospital networks, and defense and technology contractors that maintain dedicated research departments in the greater Syracuse area.
How can I get a research job in Syracuse with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Syracuse is a research assistant or junior analyst role at one of the University Hill institutions or the major health systems in the East Side medical corridor. Local universities regularly hire undergraduate and recent graduate research assistants for funded projects, and hospital networks post entry-level clinical research coordinator positions that do not require prior research titles. Volunteering for a faculty-led project or completing a relevant internship through a Syracuse-area institution significantly strengthens an application for those roles.
