Disinformation Expert & Lead Researcher
MoveOn is a community of millions of members working together to create progressive change in America. We organize to challenge entrenched power and push back against right-wing policies, while pursuing economic, racial, and social justice and a vision of a country in which everyone can thrive.
MoveOn has a particularly important role to play in the Trump era. We are working to defeat Donald Trump and the GOP in 2020 by building a powerful, multiracial, and economic populist movement that will give voters something to vote for, not just against and we’re also working to defend communities that are on the front lines of Trump and GOP attacks, including immigrants, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and women. In service of that mission, in 2019, 2020, and beyond, MoveOn will drive impactful, movement-connected, multichannel, nimble campaigns aimed at impact.
We are looking for a disinformation expert and researcher to help design a program to combat disinformation that is harming frontline communities and eroding our democracy. This person will be responsible for leading research work for this program, therefore we are looking for someone with deep expertise in leading research in the specific area of disinformation. This person will be instrumental in helping to test tactics and shape the program for the future.
