[Air-L] Reminder: three postdoc positions on AI & Society in Manchester

[João C. Magalhães]

Hello all,

The deadline for these 3-year postdoc positions on AI at the University of Manchester ends on Jan 31.

This is a great opportunity for excellent researchers from any place in the world to develop their own project, with a generous research allowance.

We welcome projects situated in any -- or multiple -- social/humanities disciplines and are particularly keen on those that critically examine the intersections of AI and society.

Get in touch if you have questions and see more details at https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?JobId=33836&source=JobTrainRSSFeed

Best,

Joao
