Dear Wikimedia research community,
I want to bring to your attention two full-time staff positions with the Wikimedia Foundation that we're currently hiring for:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Senior_Research_Analyst_-_S... http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Senior_Research_Analyst_-_G...
These two have a slightly different focus. The strategy position, reporting to me, is closely linked to Wikimedia's product development roadmap (translating research findings into product decisions), and has an overall coordinating function. The Global Development position, reporting to the Chief Global Development Officer, Barry Newstead, directly supports our work in expanding Wikimedia's presence and programmatic activities world-wide, with special focus on disadvantaged and underrepresented communities.
For the strategy role, I'd love to get someone with existing deep Wikimedia experience (as a researcher and/or editor), even if they don't meet the exact requirements in the JD.
These jobs are based in San Francisco, California, so if you're not based in the SF Bay Area, let us know if you're willing to relocate.
Please see the postings above for further information, and please help get the word out in your communities.
These positions are separate from the volunteer research committee (although of course these staff positions are expected to interface with the r-com), and you should feel free to apply for these positions even if you've already applied to be on the r-com.
All best,
Erik
