Postdoctoral Researcher “governing The Digital

4 weken geleden


Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

Utrecht University offers a full-time position for a postdoctoral researcher for two years (24 months) in the focus area “Governing the Digital Society” (GDS). This interdisciplinary focus area fosters the collaboration between the departments of Media and Culture, Law, Governance, and Information Science. The GDS group promotes research on the socio-technical and political-economic processes of datafication, algorithmisation and platformisation and AI.

**Your job**:
Postdocs will pursue their own research plan which fits the larger research aims of the GDS group. Projects may differ in scale and scope; we invite you to submit concrete project descriptions that fit our overall goals. Some of the major questions to be addressed in our overall GDS project are:

- How can we help public institutions to become more transparent, accountable, and responsible by articulating public values and implementing them into (the design of) their online practices?
- Which roles should governments, legislators, market actors, and citizens play in governing the digital society?
- How can important normative, ethical, societal principles of algorithmic design be implemented in governance structures?
- How can data practices and data resources enable citizens and civil society to make public institutions more transparent and to participate meaningfully in democratic and decision-making processes?
- How can we help (local, national, supranational) governments and independent institutions (e.g. educational, cultural or media organisations) to make sense of novel data resources and develop interpretative practices?
- How can we develop methodologies to empirically study the governance of and by actors and technologies of the digital society?

Please find descriptions of our core team and Special Interest Group members on the GDS website.

**Your qualities**:

- a completed PhD in a field relevant to the GDS focus area (e.g., media studies, law, governance studies, information science) and preferably a topic that is related to one of the GDS research aims. The PhD should be approved and preferably defended before 1 October 2024;
- excellent methodological skills;
- excellent writing and presentation skills (academic publishing and conferences);
- a strong interest in cross-disciplinary cooperation as part of Utrecht University’s research community;
- some experience in non-academic publishing and audience communication.

**Our offer**:
We offer:

- a job for 24 months;
- a working week of 32 to 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €3,226 and €5,929 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale 10-11 under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.

In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth.
