Dear Vicki,
Thanks a lot for sharing the job alert.
I'm submitting my PhD thesis for examination next week. I was wondering if it would be possible to submit an application for this position or is it essential to have the award in hand to apply?
Looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks
Nardine

Subject: [Air-L] Job Alert: Oxford Associate Professor of AI & Society (social sciences)

Dear AOIR friends,

I wanted to bring to your attention that 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 outstanding empirical research related to the ethics and social impact of AI, broadly construed, and will play an integral part in the activities of the Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI. This post is available from 1 March 2022, 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 social science disciplines, including political science, sociology, communications, public policy, anthropology, psychology, development or geography. The successful candidate will be expected to engage in innovative empirical research that will advance normative or ethical debate about the impacts of AI, machine learning and new information technologies, using quantitative or qualitative social science methods, 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 University’s vacancies list<https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.display_form?p_company=10&p_internal_external=E&p_display_in_irish=N&p_process_type=&p_applicant_no=&p_form_profile_detail=&p_display_apply_ind=Y&p_refresh_search=Y&p_recruitment_id=153489<https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.display_form?p_company=10&p_internal_external=E&p_display_in_irish=N&p_process_type=&p_applicant_no=&p_form_profile_detail=&p_display_apply_ind=Y&p_refresh_search=Y&p_recruitment_id=153489>>. The closing date is 19th October.

If you have any questions, do feel free to reach out to me directly (victoria.nash at oii.ox.ac.uk<mailto:victoria.nash at oii.ox.ac.uk>).
Warm wishes,
Vicki
