The Institute of Public Administration of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is looking for a
Postdoc position for project Fair Educational Assessment in the Age of AI (FAIR-ASSESS)
Description of the vacancy
Leiden University’s Institute of Public Administration is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join the action research project “ Fair Educational Assessment in the Age of AI ” (FAIR-ASSESS) for a period of 2 years at 0.8 FTE (a 1.0 FTE position for a period of 2 years is possible under certain conditions).
The project aims to construct a normative framework to inform and guide recent developments in the domain of AI-assisted higher-education assessments. Specifically, the project combines theoretical work on theories of fairness applied to AI technologies and recent scholarship on fair educational assessment with empirical research that uses deliberative mini-publics methodologies to construct a fairness-based framework for analyzing, evaluating and regulating AI tools within higher-education assessment practices (e.g., exams, papers or presentations). The deliberative mini-publics (small groups deliberating on cases and materials constructed by the project team) will be conducted with students and faculty from 5 Leiden faculties and 1 Leiden inter-faculty institute.
The postdoc will work with Dr. Andrei Poama at the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs and will be part of a research network that spans 5 Leiden faculties and 1 Leiden inter-faculty institute. The members of this research network have combined expertise in political philosophy and public policy ethics, practical ethics, public administration, educational sciences, AI and digital governance, and computer science (machine learning).
The postdoc will conduct both theoretical research (with a focus on fair AI design and implementation in the education assessment domain) and empirical research (by coordinating and analysing the results of the deliberative mini-publics on fair AI-assisted assessments at Leiden University).
