6 month researcher post on 'Just Public Algorithms' UEA, UK
We have a 6 month 0.5FTE research associate post available in the 3S research group at the University of East Anglia, UK, on the Just Public Algorithms project. The successful candidate will work with Dr Helen Pallett and Professor Jason Chilvers of the 3S research group, as well as the participation NGO Involve UK. <br> <br>The project will produce the most comprehensive picture yet of citizen responses to the ways in which algorithms are being adopted in and around UK public services, from welfare payments to policing, healthcare and immigration. More broadly it will suggest a roadmap for the responsible and transparent governance of these technologies and approaches. The primary duties of the research associate will be to carry out the literature review and mapping work around the use of algorithms in public services in the UK and the ways in which citizens are engaging with these developments, with support and supervision from Helen Pallett and Jason Chilvers. This work will be primarily desk-based using conventional systematic review methodologies but may also involve some scoping interviews or the use of digital methods. The research associate will also feed into a stakeholder workshop concerning the responsible future governance of these approaches and help to write the briefing note and academic paper produced at the end of the project. <br> <br>Essential criteria include: Postgraduate research qualifications in Science and Technology Studies or related fields, or equivalent experience; Ability to communicate complex information clearly, both orally and in writing; Ability to organise own time and work, to meet deadlines, and manage competing priorities. <br> <br>The post is available to start on 1 October 2019 on a part time (0.5 FTE) basis for a fixed term period of 6 months. <br> <br>See here for the particulars of the post and to apply: https://myview.uea.ac.uk/webrecruitment/pages/vacancy.jsf?search=2 <br> <br>Please do get in touch with me if you would like to discuss this position. <br> <br>Best wishes <br>Helen <br> <br> <br>Dr Helen Pallett <br>Lecturer in Human Geography <br>School of Environmental Sciences <br>University of East Anglia <br> <br>Twitter | Staff profile | Research group profile | Personal website | ResearchGate <br> <br> <br>[cid:image001.png@01D54E99.B04E9340] <br> <br>UK Top 15 (Complete University Guide 2017) <br>Top 5 for student satisfaction (National Student Survey, 2005-2016) <br>World Top 1% (Times Higher Education World Rankings 2015-16) <br>World Top 100 for research excellence (Leiden Ranking 2016) <br>[facebook] [twitter-old] [tumblr] [flickr] [linkedin] [youtube] [cid:image008.png@01D54E99.B04E9340] <br> <br>This email is confidential and may be privileged.
