Social Change Lab is a UK-based nonprofit producing rigorous research on social movements. We study activism and social movements to understand their role in social change, and share what we learn with the activists, organisers and funders driving change across our three priority areas: climate and environment, animal advocacy, and AI safety.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, ambitious research team and meaningfully expand both our research capacity and the reach of our findings. As Research & Outreach Officer at Social Change Lab, you will work with our two Directors of Research to design and deliver rigorous studies on the effectiveness of social movements, while also working to get those findings into the hands of activists, funders and journalists who can act on them.
We are deliberately open on methodological background. You might come from a primarily quantitative tradition (experimental design, surveys, statistical analysis) or a primarily qualitative one (interviews, case studies, focus groups, thematic analysis), or somewhere in between. What matters most is that you can conduct high quality research, work flexibly across methods where the research question demands it, and communicate your research effectively to both academic and practitioner audiences.
