We are looking for a researcher to find practices that mislead or exploit people, and to explain how they work.
The role is remote and unpaid, and takes about a day a month.
There is no set day, and we arrange any calls around you.
What difference will you make?
Everything we publish rests on the evidence behind it.
A second researcher lets us cover more practices, and lets two people check a figure before it goes out.
It also lets us respond to more regulator consultations, which is where a small organisation can change what companies are allowed to do.
What are we looking for?
- Care with evidence, and a willingness to say when it is thin.
- A habit of tracing a figure back to where it came from.
- Judgement about which problems are worth the time.
- A minimum of three years' experience in market research or data analysis.
You do not need an academic background, or a track record of publishing. If you can explain a practice clearly and show where your evidence came from, that is what we need.
