Join us to produce critical research, policy analysis and investigative journalism to inform debates, movements and campaigns on civil liberties, human rights and democratic standards.

The successful candidate will also contribute to implementation of other objectives outlined in our strategic plan. An extension to the contract beyond the initial four-month term will be possible, depending on the acquisition of sufficient funding and satisfactory performance in the role.
