📢 We’re hiring! Full Fact is looking for a Research Consultant to work on an exciting new project to enhance our fact checking impact through new ways of using data. Full details on how to apply are on our website 👇 JoinOurTeam
We are happy to talk about flexible working, including part time. We’d also welcome candidates from other organisations as this would be a great secondment opportunity.Our work makes a difference. Millions of people use our fact checking each year, including major internet companies. We get powerful people and institutions to correct the record, including politicians and the national media.
Each fact check we publish is accompanied by metadata that helps tech companies and other researchers to find and make use of our articles. We are now carrying out a major review of this with the aim of enriching this metadata so that our articles have an even greater reach and impact. We are recruiting a researcher to contribute to this project by working closely with both fact checkers and technologists to review and improve our use of data.
You will research different approaches to enriching this data, such as identifying patterns of disinformation or categories of harms that may be caused. This will include working with partners at the University of Cambridge and other organisations. You will build a new data set of annotated claims using this new framework, and work with our software team to integrate it into our existing tools. Throughout the project, you will evaluate the quality of the data and the methods used to generate it.
Before applying, please read the requirements we place on staff to protect Full Fact’s independence and non-partisanshipWe want to see you at your best to understand your strengths and the contribution you could make at Full Fact with strong support, including for your learning and development. We also want to make sure that we use your time well during this process and don’t ask for more from you than we need to.
