Application Users - Stata SE on Windows - STEM

What you'll do

Stata SE is the workhorse for survey and panel data in public health, development economics and the social sciences. This Mercor listing is aimed at the people who use it in research: biostatisticians, epidemiologists, health and development economists, and social scientists.

The ad names the tool, the platform and a screen requirement, and stops there. You need Stata SE installed on your own Windows PC, openable today, and a display that captures high-resolution screenshots. No tasks, client or hours are published. The format suggests capturing genuine work in the application (do-files, the Data Editor, estimation output, graph windows) to train AI agents that use desktop analysis software; the ad does not say that, so confirm at screening.

The edition is named explicitly. Stata BE (the former IC) or a university lab licence you cannot open at home may not meet "your own PC, today".

Who fits

• Stata SE on your own Windows PC; Mercor supplies no licence, VM or hardware
• Hands-on use for survey, panel or clinical data analysis
• A capture setup above 2.5 megapixels: one high-resolution monitor (1440p-class or better at 16:9, 2000×1250 or more at 16:10, or an ultrawide) or two 1080p-plus monitors spanned together

No degree, publication record, years or country requirement is stated.

What it pays

$45–55 per hour, the same band as Mercor's EViews and Origin listings in the statistics group. Researchers fluent in both Stata and EViews can apply to each separately.

Weekly payment on Stripe or Wise, based on services rendered.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Academic-grade statistical fluency is paid directly, with no degree requirement
• Remote and self-scheduled; fits around a research or teaching timetable
• 3 hires shown this month when we checked
• Weekly pay terms published

Less good:

• A personal Stata SE licence is a real cost if you only have access through an institution
• No task description, hours or duration; projects can be extended, shortened or ended early
• H-1B and STEM OPT candidates excluded, which rules out many international researchers in the US
• Independent contractor: no benefits, tax is yours

About this listing

A Mercor remote hourly contract, read on 24 September 2026. Rate, edition, screen requirement, payment terms and visa limitation come from the ad. Mercor states no confidential or proprietary information from any employer or institution is involved, so restricted or identifiable research data must stay out of it. See Mercor.
