We are looking for a researcher to find practices that mislead or exploit people, and to explain how they work. The role is remote and unpaid, and takes about a day a month. There is no set day, and we arrange any calls around you.
What difference will you make?
Everything we publish rests on the evidence behind it. A second researcher lets us cover more practices, and lets two people check a figure before it goes out. It also lets us respond to more regulator consultations, which is where a small organisation can change what companies are allowed to do.
What are we looking for?
- Care with evidence, and a willingness to say when it is thin.
- A habit of tracing a figure back to where it came from.
- Judgement about which problems are worth the time.
- A minimum of three years’ experience in market research or data analysis.
You do not need an academic background, or a track record of publishing. If you can explain a practice clearly and show where your evidence came from, that is what we need.
Remote
What will you be doing?
- Look for practices in digital products and services that mislead or exploit people.
- Work out how a practice works, how common it is, and who it affects.
- Write up what you find, in plain English.
- Help us answer regulator consultations.
