Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

Meer wetenschap voor een betere toekomst.

We zoeken een PhD onderzoeker om te werken aan de ethiek van kunstmatige intelligentie en het gebruik van machine learning in wetenschap en samenleving.

Het project Machine Learning in Science and Society: A Dangerous Toy? (TOY) is een ERC Starting Grant dat onderzoek verricht naar de epistemische waarde van machine learning modellen. De PhD onderzoeker zal zich richten op de methoden en bronnen uit de filosofie van de wetenschap (bijv. idealisatie en representatie) om belangrijke vragen in de AI-ethiek over het gebruik van machine learning modellen in de samenleving te beantwoorden.

De PhD onderzoeker zal worden geïntegreerd in het theoretisch filosofisch team aan de Universiteit Utrecht en het Normative Philosophy of Science research lab.

Wat breng je mee?
  • Een mastergraad in filosofie of een gerelateerd vakgebied op het moment van aanvang van de benoeming;
  • Een interesse in tenminste twee van de volgende gebieden: filosofie van de wetenschap, epistemologie, filosofie van de technologie, ethiek van kunstmatige intelligentie en publiek beleid;
  • Een onderzoeksgeoriënteerde houding;
  • Vloeiend Nederlands in gesproken en geschreven vorm.
Wat bieden wij?
  • We bieden:
  • Een functie voor 18 maanden - na een positief evaluatie wordt de functie verlengd voor de resterende periode van 30 maanden (48 maanden in totaal);
  • Een werktijd van 36 uur en een bruto maandsalaris tussen €2.872 en €3.670 bij fulltime werk (salarisschaal P onder de Collectieve Arbeidsovereenkomst voor Universiteiten (CAO NU));
  • 8% vakantietoeslag en 8,3% eindejaarsuitkering;
  • Een pensioenregeling, gedeeltelijk betaalde ouderschapsverlof en flexibele voorwaarden op basis van de CAO NU.

Naast de voorwaarden uit de CAO NU biedt de Universiteit Utrecht ook een aantal eigen regelingen en faciliteiten voor medewerkers. Dit omvat regelingen die het professionele groeipotentieel stimuleren, verlofsporen en regelingen voor sport- en culturele activiteiten, evenals korting op software en andere IT-producten. We bieden ook toegang tot extra werknemersvoordelen via ons Model voor Bijzondere Arbeidsvoorwaarden. Op deze manier stimuleren we onze medewerkers om te blijven investeren in hun groei.
