Research Participant Needed: Remote Gig Workers for Academic Text Interview (Cambridge Sociology Research) Hi there, I’m Yuxia Ren, a Master’s student in Sociology at the University of Cambridge, currently conducting research on labour mobility and worker power among remote gig workers. Specifically, how you interact with the platform reputation system (e.g., star ratings, feedback scores), your labour mobility (how you find, switch, or retain gig work platforms based on your reputation), and your perceptions of worker power. This study is for my academic dissertation only (no commercial use), and I’m seeking gig workers to share their honest insights via an asynchronous text interview. Who I’m Looking For: Current remote gig workers (active on platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, Fiverr, or similar remote gig platforms) who earn income through these platforms. A platform reputation rating of 4.5/5 stars or higher (to focus on workers with established experience interacting with reputation systems). What the Interview Involves: This is an asynchronous online text interview (No live calls! You answer on your schedule!): 1. I’ll send you 9 core questions via platform message in a document. 2. You can take 2–4 days to respond (no rush) and send the completed document back. 3. I’ll follow up with 1–2 rounds of clarifying questions (again, you reply at your convenience, preferably within 3 working days ). 4. Total time commitment: 50 mins for initial answers + 40 mins for follow-ups (split across your free time). What You’ll Get: A guaranteed 5-star rating on your platform profile (regardless of your answers! your honesty is what matters!). Compensation negotiated based on your working hours and average wage rate, to be agreed with you prior to the commencement of the project. Privacy & Data Protection: All your responses will be completely anonymous: I’ll replace your name/platform ID with a code (e.g., Worker 7) in my research. Data will only be used for this academic study (never shared with third parties). All interview documents will be stored in encrypted files (only accessible by me and my supervisor) and permanently deleted 1 year after the study ends. How to Apply: If you meet the criteria (current remote gig worker and 4.5+ star rating) and want to participate, send me a message via this platform with: 1. The name of the remote gig platform(s) you use. 2. Your current reputation rating on each platforms. I’ll reply within 24 hours to confirm your eligibility and share the interview details. Thank you for helping shape understanding of gig workers’ experiences! Your voice matters! Note: This research has received ethical approval from the University of Cambridge Sociology Department.

Hello, there, I understand you’re gathering deep insights from remote gig workers for Cambridge Sociology, focusing on reputation systems and mobility. I know the real risk is privacy and bias: workers may withhold details when anonymous or fear repercussions from platform metrics. I would approach this by screening for active remote gig workers with 4.5+ ratings, offering asynchronous text interviews, and providing code-named responses to ensure comfort and accuracy. A deeper technical insight is to store responses in encrypted, time-stamped documents with a unique hash per participant, plus versioned edits to track clarifications while preserving anonymity. I’m ready to proceed and adapt to your scheduling constraints, with . Thanks, Jim.
