Statistician: As our news items are based on factual reportage, we seek to employ the services of an experienced statistician who would analyze news items with their corresponding figures and be sure to provide a backing with his claim. This role is quite different from the role of the Historian, but we expect both individuals that fill these roles/positions to work together towards providing ground-breaking statistics as prove to our news stories, and be ready to project the statistics using the most relevant charts available at his/her disposal.

Should this be the case, you would also need to work closely with the Historian and the Statistician to collect their data for further representation on graphics. For this role, no prior experience is required, although basic knowledge of Adobe Suite and Corel Packages would give you an edge over others, but we prioritize right character to growth over experience, or previous knowledge.
