Researcher
Find practices that harm people, and explain how they work.
What you would do
- Look for practices in digital products and services that mislead or exploit people.
- Understand how one works, how common it is, and who it affects.
- Write up what you find.
- Help us answer regulator consultations.
What we are 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.
You do not need an academic background, or a track record of publishing.
How to apply
Tell us about a practice you think we should look at, and who it affects. A paragraph is enough.
Email volunteer@digitalconsumers.org.uk. There is no closing date. We read applications as they arrive and reply to everyone, and we take the role down once it is filled.
Tell us if you need anything changed about how you apply, or how we would work together. Ask before you apply if that is easier, and it will not count against you.
