Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am collaborating with Hacks/Hackers on a NSF Convergence
Accelerator grant project with Hacks/Hackers: the project is
called the Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust
(ARTT<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://artt.cs.washington.edu/"><https://artt.cs.washington.edu/></a>), and I am looking
for a contractor to work with me on the project.<br>
<br>
This would be a good fit for a graduate student or a recent PhD
with knowledge of (or interest in) current academic research on
trust and credibility, interpersonal communication and conflict,
and/or media literacy. The work would be to help assemble an
annotated bibliography of this literature, which will be used to
power the development of an online tool that will help people
navigate complex conversational exchanges around contentious
topics like vaccines. The full job description is pasted below.
Please circulate widely; Interested candidates should email

SSRC is Hiring: Contractor for the Analysis and Response Toolkit
for Trust Project<br>
<br>
<br>
The Media & Democracy program at the Social Science Research
Council (SSRC<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.ssrc.org/"><https://www.ssrc.org/></a>) is looking to hire a
contractor for its part of the Analysis and Response Toolkit for

an immediate start date. The project, funded by the National
Science Foundation’s Convergence
Accelerator<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://artt.cs.washington.edu/hacks-hackers-partners-advance-to-phase-ii-of-national-science-foundations-convergence-accelerator/"><https://artt.cs.washington.edu/hacks-hackers-partners-advance-to-phase-ii-of-national-science-foundations-convergence-accelerator/></a>,

ARTT Catalog<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://artt.cs.washington.edu/artt-catalog/"><https://artt.cs.washington.edu/artt-catalog/></a>,
which will contain interdisciplinary scholarly research that
offers insight into practical methods for improving conversations,
both online and in-person. The ARTT Catalog will ultimately help
power the development of the project’s online tool, the ARTT
Guide, which will empower users to develop their own responses
during complicated exchanges by offering guidance and suggestions
about how to best correct or engage with others.<br>

generating trust, that starts with the nine different categories
offered by the current catalog and verifies as well as builds upon
them;<br>
* Attend an SSRC-hosted conference that invites experts to add to
and expand on the research review;<br>
* Incorporate feedback from the conference to the research review,
and build it out further based on recommendations from the broader
community of scholars who may be interested in the project.<br>
* Amend and build the review into a second version of the ARTT
catalog, with papers highlighted for methods that may be
incorporated by the ARTT tool.<br>

* Excellent organizational skills; attention to detail and a high
degree of professionalism.<br>
* Excellent interpersonal skills; team player with demonstrated
