Job Description

TU Delft is a leading university in the field of Artificial Intelligence, and the AI DeMoS Lab is one of the university's research groups focused on developing AI for democracy. The lab aims to investigate how AI facilitates our practice of democracy and how we can design and use AI systems responsibly.

The AI DeMoS Lab has a PhD position available to investigate collective engagements with AI systems designed for public use. The project will use speculative design and related approaches to broaden the engagement space with such AI systems and stimulate a societal debate on the role AI systems play in public life.

The PhD candidate will work with at least two academic members of staff and three other PhD candidates. The project is a collaboration between the Industrial Design Engineering and Technology, Policy and Management faculties, aiming to bring together various intellectual fields of STS, philosophy, and/or media studies with speculative/critical design approaches.

Requirements
  • 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 having in-depth knowledge of speculative design or related approaches and an affinity with or interest in Philosophy (of Technology), Science and Technology Studies, or related fields.

Conditions of Employment

The PhD candidate will be offered a 5-year period of employment in principle and will be deployed for AI-related education for the usual teaching effort for PhD candidates in the faculty plus an additional 20%. The extra year compared to the usual 4-year contract accommodates the 20% additional AI, Data and Digitalisation education-related activities.

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.

As a PhD candidate, you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School, which provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff, and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related, and research skills.

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, which provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service also organises events to expand your (social) network.
