Three PhD Positions in AI, Digital Culture and Deep Learning
**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Geesteswetenschappen**Opleidingsniveau**:Master**Functie type**:Promotieplaats**Sluitingsdatum**:27 October 2024**Vacaturenummer**:13504- Would you like to become part of a dynamic community that is at the forefront of critical interdisciplinary research in Artificial Intelligence, Digital Culture and Deep Learning?- **What are you going to do?**
- The three PhD students will be part of a 5-year European Research Council Advanced grant: ‘Deep Culture - Living with Difference in the Age of Deep Learning’. The project investigates the relations between deep learning and global cultural production and consumption. Deep learning technologies like ChatGPT have generated a lot of excitement about our new relations with AI but have also provoked much public anxiety. The project coins ‘deep culture’ to describe the global transformations that deep learning has brought on culture, and how culture is in turn key to deep learning. The project will first explore the relations between deep learning and historical-cultural concepts and practices. Secondly, it will work with deep-learning methods to address their limitations for critical analysis. Finally, it aims to foster public understanding of deep learning’s global relations to culture-
- Each PhD student will be primarily allocated to one of these sites but work together with the other PhDs and PostDocs on the other sites. The project also involves extensive conceptual investigations and methodological experiments in the critical study of AI. We envisage that the three PhDs will have a range of diverse skills that complement each other: from those with already existing technical knowledge in AI and digital humanities to researchers with a background in qualitative methods, cultural analysis, software studies and science and technology studies. We expect, however, that you would be willing to critically engage with interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies, learn from each other and be willing to add new skills and practices to your existing interests. The project wants to avoid hierarchies and specialisations as far as possible.**Your tasks and responsibilities**
- You are expected:
- to conduct research drawing on approaches from deep learning, digital humanities, critical AI and data studies, science and technology studies;
- to publish and present research results in leading international conferences and journals;
- to complete a PhD thesis to be submitted within the period of appointment;
- to participate in project meetings and relevant networks;
- to participate in knowledge dissemination activities with academic and other stakeholders;
- to contribute to our teaching activities as assistant to courses and/or guiding students in their thesis work
- to contribute to the organisational and administrative work on the project.
**What do you have to offer?**Your experience and profile**-
- a completed master's degree in artificial intelligence, digital humanities, cultural-historical analysis, or science and technology studies and related areas;
- a demonstrable interest in socio-technical research, and affinity with AI;
- a strong cooperative attitude and interest in working collaboratively with other researchers and external stakeholders;
- a professional command of English and good presentation skills.
- experience with administrative and organisational skills.
- Please note that if you already hold a doctorate/PhD or are working towards obtaining a similar degree elsewhere, you will not be admitted to a doctoral programme at the UvA.**What can we offer you?**
- We offer a temporary employment contract for the period of 48 months. The first contract will be for 16 months, with an extension for the following 32 months, dependent on a positive performance evaluation within the first 12 months. The employment contract is for 38 hours a week. The preferred starting date is as soon as possible but ideally no later than 1 February 2025.-
