Hello -
The Prosocial Design Network is looking for a Fellow to help expand its
library of evidence-based prosocial digital interventions (that, e.g.,
reduce misinformation and toxicity or promote meaningful connection).
This could be an opportunity for a PhD grad student or others with
experience in research design and causal inference who want to immerse
themselves in current scholarship around prosocial digital interventions -
and who are interested in helping translating research to practice.Thank
you for sharing if you think it would be of interest to those on the
PolMeth listserv. Cheers, Julia
