PhD position - AI DeMoS Lab-
Improve our practice of democracy in the age of AI Develop AI systems for a meaningful democratic engagement.
Job description
TU Delft is a top tier university and is exceedingly active in the field of Artificial intelligence. AI DeMoS Lab is one of the Delft AI labs, which focuses on developing AI for democracy. The lab aims to investigate how AI facilitates our practice of democracy and how we can facilitate the responsible design and use of AI systems for a meaningful democratic engagement. The AI DeMoS Lab intends to contribute to the development of multimodal AI systems that would foster deliberation, critical engagement of citizens and enable them to take informed decisions under the conditions of deep uncertainty that these same AI developments bring forth.
AI DeMoS Lab has a PhD position focused on investigating collective engagements with AI systems which are designed for public use (e.g., mortgage allocation systems, online proctoring systems, surveillance systems, among others). By using speculative design and related approaches, the project aims to broaden the engagement space with such AI systems and stimulate a societal debate on the role AI systems already play and should play in public life. The project is a collaboration between the Industrial Design Engineering and Technology, Policy and Management faculties, aiming to harvest from various intellectual fields of STS, philosophy, and/or media studies, and bring them together with speculative/critical design approaches to imagine alternative and more responsible ways to design public algorithmic systems.
**Requirements**:
For the position we expect you to have:
- Completed a relevant MSc degree in a field relevant to PhD research, such as design, human-computer interaction, Science and Technology Studies, media studies
- An affinity with teaching and guiding students
- Proficiency in expressing yourself verbally and in writing in English
- The ability to work in a team and take initiative
We would also recommend to have:
- In depth knowledge of speculative design or related approaches (preferably demonstrated with a portfolio, artworks, or professional media content); and an affinity with or interest in Philosophy (of Technology), Science and Technology Studies, or related fields.
Conditions of employment
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2770 per month in the first year to € 3539 in the fourth year. In the 5th year, you will receive a temporary monthly allowance based on the gross difference between salary scale P, step 3 and salary scale 10, step 3.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
