Project Lockdown: Researchers

  • 26 people are interested

We are looking for Researchers who will work on our key dates database.

*The key dates database is a Google Sheet containing all the dates that government pronouncements were made in relation to COVID-19 measures and legal changes made to the status of a territory (e.g. State of Emergency). The key dates database is imperative for completing the reviewing of data for any territory.

You could be a good fit for this position if:
  • you have excellent internet search skills and are able to locate hard to find official sources and determine start and end dates for all implemented government measures;
  • you are very patient and pay attention to detail,
  • you are interested in working as part of a small team (the key dates database team) as well as the full Research team,
  • you have excellent communication skills and can commit to regularly updating the team and communicate with them via Slack,
  • you ideally reside in the region (or territory) that you are working on and have knowledge of the COVID-19 situation in your territory or region. This would also incorporate some language skills for this region/territory.
Future opportunities: If you enjoy the work and want to continue with the research team, you have the opportunity to later take on the role of a Review Editor, drawing on your extensive knowledge of the key dates database.

If this sounds like a role you might be interested in, please tell us a little about yourself and why you want to volunteer with us!

Mission Statement

Mission: Ensure the observance of Human and Digital Rights through the analysis of worldwide policies.

Description

Project Lockdown (an initiative from The IO Foundation) is a civic tech, interactive platform providing an overview of the state of Human and Digital Rights around the globe. It evaluates policies obtained from high quality sources that may impact their observance. It provides, among other tools, a layered map interface that allows for a visual representation of the policies adopted, assisting a broad range of stakeholders in understanding the global state of their Rights empowering them to become active agents of global change.

The project is the result of the collaborative effort from a global network of partners and volunteers who are dedicating their time and resources to ensure that we do not degrade the Rights we currently enjoy while simultaneously preparing them to become a new generation of Rights defenders. It aims at providing an overview of the state Rights around the world to citizens and assisting journalists and civil society in their reporting and overseeing tasks.
