Call for Applicants: Postdoctoral Fellow in Indigenous Data Sovereignty


Abundant Intelligences is an ambitious, large-scale six-year research
program exploring how to integrate Indigenous Knowledges and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) systems. It is conducted by an international research
team, co- directed by Prof. Lewis at the Indigenous Futures Research Centre
at Concordia University, Montreal, and Prof. Hēmi Whaanga at Massey
University in New Zealand. The research team currently consists of 48
co-investigators and collaborators at 13 universities/research institutes
and 8 community-based organizations in Canada, the United States, and New
Zealand.

Abundant Intelligences is establishing a detailed data sharing and
intellectual property framework. This position will support this work
through research on Indigenous data sovereignty, community protocols, and
cultural & legal regimes for protecting cultural property within the
context of AI research; developing protocols, methods, and tools for
protecting and sharing Indigenous data to help in developing advanced
technologies such as AI; and disseminating the knowledge acquired within
the Partnership and in external publication and presentation venues. The
Postdoctoral Fellow will work closely with program directors and working
groups to ensure their research helps advance the partnership research
priorities.

Abundant Intelligences Postdoctoral Fellows are intended to support the
career development of outstanding PhD recipients with great potential for
contributing to the research program. We seek applicants whose professional
preparedness, experience, and accomplishments are informed by experiences
working with and within Indigenous groups. Where pools of qualified
applicants are strong, priority will be given to applicants who
demonstrate, through prior actions and achievements, intentional and
actioned commitment to Indigenous epistemologies and methodologies, and
research or creative activity focused on empowering Indigenous populations.

The Postdoctoral Fellow selected will join a cohort of emerging scholars as
part of the research program, will engage in scholarly research and
creation, and may be asked to perform duties common to academic personnel,
including grant proposal writing and teaching, as well as participate in
partnership governance.
