The University of Graz strives to increase the proportion of women in particular in management and faculty positions and therefore encourages qualified women to apply. In the event of underrepresentation, women with equal qualifications are generally given priority for admission. We welcome applications from persons with disabilities who meet the requirements of the advertised position.

The Research Priority Area in Human(e) AI at the University of Amsterdam currently has two vacant Postdoctoral Researcher positions. The ideal candidates are active in any relevant area that can complement our current strengths within any of the areas in a) AI and Philosophy, b) AI and Law and c) AI and Communication Science, d) AI and Logic.

Within AI and Philosophy, or AI and Logic, we encourage applications from candidates interested in developing advanced computational methods for studying culture and society. We welcome research on surveying and analysing the application of these methods, its limits and ethical issues. We similarly welcome work on the design of new formal tools e.g. in relation to social network analysis, opinion-formation, bias-detection, fairness, trust or research that can bridge methods used in symbolic and sub-symbolic AI.

Within AI and Law, we are particularly interested in work on the emerging European digital framework, including the AI Act, the Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act or the European Media Freedom Act, and invite critical legal research on the operationalisation of these frameworks, and the extent to which they tackle the growing proliferation of (generative) AI in the broader media sector. The ability to work conceptually and in an interdisciplinary cross-faculty team will be essential.

Within AI and Communication Science we are interested in any work on how citizens interact with AI systems in the realms of media and politics. This can focus, for example, on effects of AI in journalism, effects of AI in disinformation strategies or the effects of AI in political campaigns.

Interest in and ability to work with computational social science and communication methods as part of an inter-disciplinary team is essential.

We accept applications until 13 December 2024. For details on how to apply, see the link below:
