How to Apply

Send your CV and a short paragraph telling us why you are interested in taking part in this research to juan.hernandez [@] childrenchangecolombia [.] org by 12 November 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview.

Purpose of the Role:

Children and adolescents spend much of their lives on social media, and those who seek to harm them have followed. Harmful actors, including armed groups and criminal gangs, use online platforms to spread propaganda, normalise illegality and reach young people directly.

The Junior Researcher and Analyst Intern will join a research team at Children Change Colombia studying how this content is made, how it spreads and who it targets. You will review and classify social media content, maintain our research database and help identify the narratives and actors that put young people at risk. The role relies on careful human judgement and our findings will help tech platforms improve how their detection algorithms identify harmful content and keep children safe online.

What’s in it for you:

• Research experience: you will work on an active research project alongside experienced analysts, from data collection through to reporting.
• Understanding online networks: you will learn how content, narratives and accounts move across social media, and how harmful actors use platforms to reach young people.
• Digital research methods: you will learn and apply content analysis, coding frameworks and social media monitoring.
• Data analytics and digital metrics: you will organise, analyse and visualise data, and learn how digital metrics are used to measure online activity.
• Mentoring: you will receive weekly supervision from a Senior Analyst and meet monthly with the Campaigns Manager.
• Child protection in practice: you will see how research evidence informs the child protection work of an international NGO and its engagement with technology platforms.
