Hacks/Hackers is hiring for two positions related to our NSF-funded Analysis and Response for Toolkit for Trust (ARTT) project:

• A Researcher to conduct research, coordinate efforts and contribute to the creation of related materials.
• A Community Coordinator to shape and maintain a supportive user community, and ensure the success of the expert-informed software tool aimed at addressing vaccine hesitancy and misinformation.

Both jobs are remote, but applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. Applications are being reviewed now, and the ARTT team is looking to fill these positions by the end of September.
