Anti-Corruption Data Collective: Research Fellow
Investigative journalists and academic researchers both use data to interrogate the topics of corruption and illicit finance. While they bring complementary skills and perspectives, they have not traditionally worked together. Together with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), the Anti-Corruption Data Collective (ACDC) is launching an ambitious short-term project to accelerate and increase collaborations between investigative journalists and empirical social science researchers. Our goal is to lower the barriers to collaboration and make it easier for researchers and journalists to generate robust data-backed evidence on corruption and kleptocracy. If structured well, these projects can benefit both groups as well as the wider anti-corruption field. ACDC is seeking a Research Fellow to help us support our ecosystem of researchers, journalists and data scientists over a 5-month period until the end of March 2026.
