[Air-L] Researcher position available at the Oxford Internet Institute

[Mark Graham]

Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking to appoint a Researcher to work with us at the Fairwork
Foundation <http://fair.work/>. This position provides an exciting
opportunity to work with our team to co-develop standards of fair work and
apply them to digital platforms.

Applicants will have a relevant postgraduate degree in sociology,
geography, anthropology, economics, development studies, or related fields.
Excellent writing, presentation abilities, and analytical skills are also
required. Applicants should be creative, highly organised, and able to
effectively manage multiple ongoing tasks.

As the successful candidate, you will be based at Fairwork Foundation
within the Oxford Internet Institute, and collaborate with Professor Mark
Graham and Dr Jamie Woodcock in order to (1) co-develop thresholds and
principles of fair work that apply to the platform economy; (2) design
strategies and carry out research to evaluate platforms against those
thresholds; (3) collaborate in the preparation of publications and research
outputs to disseminate the evaluations of platforms against principles of
fair work. The pilot stage of the project is primarily based in South
Africa and India, but there will also be opportunities to work on pilots in
London and Berlin.

Based in the heart of Oxford, this post is available immediately and is
fixed-term for 6 months in the first instance, with the possibility of
renewal thereafter.
