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

The 3rd Free Culture Research Conference Free Culture between Commons and Markets: Approaching the Hybrid Economy? October 8-9, Berlin.
Registration Open http://wikis.fu-berlin.de/display/fcrc/Registration
The Free Culture Research Conference presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of a Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture. This event builds upon the successful workshop held in 2009 at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, organized and attended by renowned scholars and research institutions from the US, Europe and Asia. The first event was held in Sapporo, Japan, in 2008, in conjunction with the 4th iCommons Summit. This year's event is larger in ambition and scope, to provide more time for interaction in joint as well as break-out sessions. It is hosted jointly by the Free University of Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies and will take place at October 8-9, 2010 at the Free University Campus in Berlin, in collaboration with COMMUNIA, the European Network on the digital public domain and Wikimedia Germany. Funding and support is also provided by the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
