Hi everyone,
Do you know someone excited to support the Wikimedia movement who has
experience setting up systems for secure remote data access and analysis? CAT
Lab <http://citizensandtech.org/> is looking for a contractor who can help
us plan, budget, and potentially set up a first iteration of data
access/collaboration infrastructure.
As CAT Lab starts to provide infrastructure to support third-party
researchers to collaborate with Wikipedia, reddit, and other communities on
research, we need to establish infrastructure for secure,
privacy-protecting data access and analysis across multiple projects.
That's where the data systems engineer will come in.
We have set aside $25k for this remote-available contract, and pending
approval from Cornell, can set up international contracts. Please send on
the opportunity and contact Elizabeth Eagen <ee263(a)cornell.edu> if you have
any questions.
CAT Lab is committed to asking questions and facilitating a team
environment that transform the diversity of who asks questions in open
knowledge and the social sciences. So we would especially welcome referrals
to people who have a track record in that regard.
*About CAT Lab*
The Citizens and Technology Lab <http://citizensandtech.org/> (CAT Lab) at
Cornell University envisions a world where digital power is guided by
evidence and accountable to the public. We work with communities to study
the effects of technology on society and test ideas for changing digital
spaces in the public interest.
To achieve this mission, CAT Lab does industry-independent citizen science.
Using open science software we develop in-house, we collaborate with
communities and movements to discover practical, replicable knowledge that
contributes to science and is guided by the people affected by digital
power.
All the best,
--
