[Tanya O'Carroll]

Dear all,

I just wanted to share that AI are hiring for a new Researcher/Adviser
position focused on the Internet and human rights. Please do share among
your networks with anyone who you think may be interested.

The role will have a significant part to play in developing a new thematic
programme at AI on technology and human rights. The position is 1 year
fixed-term in London initially. Full details here: http://bit.ly/1naqvSk

Very grateful if you could help us to share!

All the best,
Tanya

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As a specialist researcher in this emerging area of human rights, you will
carry out in-depth investigations that will bring government and
corporations to account for involvement in human rights abuses. Focusing
largely on digital communications technologies, that means researching key
issues like freedom of expression online, unlawful communications
surveillance practices, online censorship and access to the Internet.
Whether you're carrying out desk-based research or conducting in-country
fact-finding, you will be contributing to advancing the debate on the role
of human rights in relation to internet governance, unlawful surveillance
practices and corporate transparency and accountability by using an
evidence based approach.

You will be able to analyse and document key findings in light of
international human rights standards and collate your research into
comprehensive and influential reports recommending legal and political
change relevant to this subject area. Capitalizing on your astute
understanding and awareness of technology & human rights, you'll advise
people right across the Amnesty International movement. You'll also be
involved taking forward relevant lobbying and advocacy strategies, so you
can expect to have a big impact on our strategic direction.
