Investigator
Team Role: Investigators with TPS are responsible for performing paranormal investigations in private homes, businesses and historic locations. Investigators will work with clients to collect background info and experiences, perform investigations, review evidence and complete any required follow up. Investigators will use paranormal investigative tools to perform experiments and gather data. Investigators will also help lead the general public in investigation events hosted by TPS. Opportunities for public speaking engagements, expos, etc may also be available if desired.
Requirements: Applicants must be above 18 years old with a valid drivers license and a reliable form of transportation. Applicants should be in the tri-state area (within reasonable driving distance of Dubuque, IA.) Applicants should have weekend availability as most of our investigations take place on Friday or Saturday evenings, often going late into the night. You should have a laptop available for your use for reviewing audio and video evidence. No prior paranormal investigative experience is required as we are willing to train people we think will be a good fit for the team. A certain amount of physical activity is required of investigators. Investigations require a lot of standing, walking up and down stairs, loading and carrying equipment. In addition, at certain locations you may subjected to hot/cold temps, dust, etc. Please keep these in mind if you have any physical limitations. We perform our investigations with an open mind but are also skeptical in our approach, if your mindset differs significantly when it comes to paranormal phenomenon then we may not be the best fit for you.

Researcher
Team Role: Assist the TPS team in historical research for open cases. Research may include general historical research on the region as well as specific property records searches. Research may also include general genealogy research related to past owners or residents. Researchers will then pass that research on to investigative leads prior to investigations. Beyond researching current cases possible other projects could include identifying possible investigation locations. There is a possibility that could join on investigations if they desire and are local to the area.
Requirements: Applicants should have access to a computer with internet. Because of the nature of this role we are open to individuals outside the tri-state area as this work can be done remotely. A general knowledge of research methods and tools is preferred. Above all we are looking with someone with a passion for history and an attention to detail.

Before You Apply
Before you consider either of these roles there's some things you should know:
- These are NOT applications for employment. Team members are volunteers and are not paid for their time, assume all risks relating to their personal health, property and the property of other team members and clients, and are not subject to any protections provided by any state labor laws.
- Submitting an application does not guarantee a position with Transcendent Paranormal Society. We keep our team fairly small, we think investigations work better that way and we can offer our investigators more opportunities with less team members.
- Please read role descriptions carefully before submitting an application. We will reach out to schedule an interview if we think you might be a good fit for the team. We will keep your applications on file for any future openings.
