Moonshot believes that marginalised people in society — including people of colour, minority ethnic, people from working class backgrounds, women, Disabled and LGBTQIA+ people — must be centred in the work we do. We strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other communities who are currently underrepresented in our workforce. We know a diverse workforce will enable us to understand drivers behind violent extremism and online harms in an in-depth way and do better work to counter them.
About The Role
Moonshot is building a pool of skilled linguist consultants to support our expanding portfolio of research projects. We are specifically seeking professionals with native or near-native proficiency in Albanian, Hindi, Kurdish (Sorani), Punjabi and Urdu combined with excellent English language skills.
In this role, you will contribute your linguistic expertise to critical research initiatives focused on countering violent extremism, organised crime, gender-based violence, disinformation and other online harms.
