The role

We are looking for Study Participants from all professional backgrounds across New Zealand to take part in academic and applied research studies for global businesses and educational faculties.

If you have the necessary experience, a quick 10- to 15-minute screening will assess your suitability. If successful, you’ll be invited to join Prolific as a participant, where you’ll get paid to contribute to a wide range of projects.

While many tasks are short, you should be prepared for studies that require up to one hour of uninterrupted work.
