Dear All,
This email is about a job opening. Sorry if it's not appropriate for this
mailing list, however, both positions are heavily involved with Wikipedia
Research (among other things) and therefore pretty much related to the
topic.
I would appreciate if you could circulate it within your networks.
Best,
Taha
