Job Description

About the Project

The USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences at the University of Southern California is seeking to recruit multiple people to participate in one of two remote roles on the Everyday Respect research project. The Everyday Respect research team is working to analyze communication between police officers and drivers on the basis of body worn video recordings. Our objective is to enhance transparency and accountability, and to improve our understanding of officer-civilian communication. See recent coverage of the project by LAist.

About the Role

Video annotators are workers who view video footage captured by police body cameras and then record information about these interactions using a coding manual provided by our team. In the first stages of the project, this work will mostly involve relatively objective measures of what occurs during these interactions, like whether the officer introduces themselves or explains the reason for the stop, or whether a search occurs. In later phases of the project, we will ask for more subjective assessments of communication between officers and drivers. The data gathered by both research participants and resource employees will be used to train AI models, helping us measure key aspects of communication between officers and drivers.

Application Instructions

Resume and cover letter required (may be uploaded as one file). Please do not submit your application without these documents. If you are interested in becoming a Research Participant, please fill out this brief questionnaire and we will be in touch very soon. Job openings are posted for a minimum of five business days. This job may be removed from posting boards and filled any time after the minimum posting period has ended, so please apply on the same business day if interested.
