Hi AoiR, I'm looking for an internet policy researcher to help support part-time (30 to 40 days over a period of three to four months) on an exciting new project exploring the role cities (can) play in preserving privacy in public spaces. This is a joint project between Nesta <https://www.nesta.org.uk/> and the City of Amsterdam. The project would present a good fit for experienced policy researchers, but also current PhD students and early career researchers in academia, advocacy or the public sector. The budget for this work is relatively flexible, and can be adapted depending on the level of experience of the successful candidate. We are looking for someone with demonstrable knowledge of internet policy, particularly around issues of privacy and data protection, with strong writing skills. Candidates are preferably UK or EU based, and need to be available part-time from the start/middle of April. Deadline for expressions of interest:* March 26* (so just a couple of days left to apply!). *Read more about the application process, what we're looking for and the project here <https://www.nesta.org.uk/project-updates/freelance-internet-policy-researcher-wanted/>* . This is a pretty flexible role - if you'd like to learn more or want to discuss details, definitely do drop me a message. *More info about the project: * This joint project between Nesta and the City of Amsterdam will explore the current legislative, political and societal developments around the deployment of facial recognition systems, WiFi-tracking and other related technologies and challenges in our public spaces. While a lot of decision-making around these issues takes place on the European or national level, we want to understand what cities and regions are currently already doing to preserve the privacy of their residents, and how they can be empowered to potentially do even more. The project will culminate in the release of an in-depth research report in July 2021. Thanks!
