Dear All,
The Centre for Internet & Society (CIS), India is seeking applications
for the position of Research Associate, to support its Access to
Knowledge (A2K) Programme <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K>.
The research associate is expected to support the larger goals of the
programme, which include growth of Indian language Wikipedias, related
Wikimedia projects and the contributor communities. Your primary
responsibility will be to undertake research on selected topics relevant
to key areas of programmatic work. For the present year, the focus will
be on studying challenges and efforts to bridge the gender gap/bias on
Indian language Wikimedia projects, exploring possibilities of
collaboration with organizations working on building resources related
to gender and sexuality, and assisting with a baseline study on
Wikisource projects in India.
Given present restrictions on movement due to the pandemic, this would
be a remote, full-time position until further notice. Do note that the
position is open only to applicants based in India. We specifically
encourage applications from individuals identifying as women, LGBTQIA+
and of gender non-conforming identity and sexual orientation.
