Position Description
The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is an independent, international, nonprofit organization devoted to advancing interdisciplinary research in the social sciences and related disciplines through a wide variety of workshops and conferences, fellowships and grants, summer training institutes, scholarly exchanges, research, and publications. The SSRC’s Just Tech program empowers a diverse and cross-sector network of social researchers—including scholars, civil society researchers, artists, and journalists—to imagine and create more equitable and representative technological futures. The Leading Edge Fellow will join the SSRC as Managing Editor for the Just Tech Platform, which includes essays, public-facing field reviews, and interviews. The fellow will identify and convene scholars, journalists, artists, and activists to develop new editorial content that advances understanding of the roles technology plays in shaping relationships of power, inequity, and social justice.
