I'm hiring a research assistant for next academic year! 
Come work with me at Oxford from September, research how we can audit technologies, and study algorithmic risks for research in social and health science.
Looking for profiles with CS, ML, or statistics experience in priority but other background welcomed to enquire.
Apply by June 19th or please share around!

The @internetarchive is facing a major lawsuit: big publishers are suing the organization for lending out digital copies of books.
This is a case that will determine how libraries can operate in the future. Either there will be a book rental model in the digital sphere - one that has worked successfully, in the public interest, for centuries. Or it will be replaced by commercial control of books (with privacy and censorship risks).
So it is time to stand up and support the Internet Archive:
