7 dagen geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Universiteit van Amsterdam Voltijd

At the Universiteit van Amsterdam, we are seeking a highly motivated and qualified researcher to join our Artificial Intelligence: Power Asymmetries and Data Justice project. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to ongoing debates around the social and political effects of AI.

Job Description

We are looking for a talented researcher who can develop a critical, conceptually rigorous, interdisciplinary, and situated analysis of some form of AI application. The ideal candidate will be able to formulate an original research question and contribute to our understanding of power relations and social justice in the context of AI.

The selected candidate will work under the supervision of Prof Dr Stefania Milan, Dr Lonneke van der Velden, and Dr Claudio Celis Bueno, and will be part of a productive dialogue with the ongoing research of Dr Lonneke van der Velden and Dr Claudio Celis Bueno. Special focus on asymmetric power relations and/or data justice is encouraged.

About the Project

The Artificial Intelligence: Power Asymmetries and Data Justice project explores AI technologies from a critical perspective, examining their impact on society and the ways in which they reflect and shape power relations. We aim to understand how AI can be designed and used in ways that promote social justice and reduce power asymmetries.
