In your PhD project, you will seek to contribute to a better understanding of how technical methods can help study how cutting-edge digital technologies affect society - and what can be done in response.
Your work will aim to better protect the digital lives of ordinary citizens, who are commonly exposed to deceptive software designs, abuse of their data and privacy, and the will of large tech companies in determining how foundational digital infrastructure - that we use daily - is built.
To this end, you will work closely with relevant industry partners and public authorities.Ultimately, the ability to find innovative technical solutions to legal challenges - the foundation of this PhD position - could become a key skill of your future career, whether as a researcher, entrepreneur, or engineer.
The PhD position will be carried out as part of the RegTech4AI project, which brings together six full-time researchers to work on a shared vision.
Your primary task is conducting the research for your PhD project under the supervision of professors of the Maastricht Law & Tech Lab.
Your exact project will be determined in consultation with you and according to your interests and skills.As such, you will be expected to develop your own independent research agenda with the support of our experienced researchers in the Law & Tech Lab.
A small proportion of the appointment may be devoted to teaching activities, which commonly amount to teaching activities in eight weeks per year.
Requirements:
- MSc degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or Data Science (or equivalent).
- Fluency with Python programming for data analysis or machine learning.
- Interest in learning about other disciplines, law in particular.
- Communityfriendly team player.
- Excellent oral and written English communication.
