Call for applications for 18 doctoral positions in the research unit: “Communicative AI: The automation of societal communication” (FOR 5656)
How is societal communication evolving with the profound transformation of the digital media environment through communicative artificial intelligence? What consequences, risks, and opportunities arise from the widespread use of this new technology across various social domains?
The "Communicative AI" (ComAI) research unit, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), will begin exploring these questions from the perspectives of media and communication studies, sociology, science and technology studies, computer science, and law, starting in early 2025.
The participating research institutions have announced a total of 18 research assistant positions (job scope: DFG 100%, FWF 75%) with the aim of pursuing a doctorate over a four-year period. The specific job advertisements related to this project can be found on the research unit's website (www.comai.space). Additional information on the working environment and the benefits of completing a doctorate within the research unit is also available on the website.
The application deadline is September 27, 2024.
