[Air-L] Oxford University Associate Professorship in AI & Society

[Victoria Nash]

The Oxford Internet Institute and Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Oxford are seeking to appoint an Associate Professor of AI & Society, in association with a Senior Research Fellowship at Wadham College.

The successful candidate will conduct research within the ethics and social impact of AI, broadly construed, and play an integral part in the activities of the Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI. This post is available from 1 September 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a permanent appointment (subject to initial probation).

The position is open to candidates from a variety of disciplines, including sociology, political science, law, and philosophy. The successful candidate will be expected to engage in advanced research on ethical issues relating to the impact of AI, machine learning and new information technologies, and must be able to provide research-led teaching and supervision at the graduate level. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research expertise addresses public policy-relevant topics such as social injustice and inequality, barriers to information access, algorithmic bias and discrimination, and the role of diversity in the development and application of AI. Applications are particularly welcomed from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

Further details are available on the OII website (https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/people/vacancies/).
