I’m currently looking to recruit a doctoral researcher to work as part of my UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project, Infra-Legalities: Global Security Infrastructures, AI and International Law which is examining investigating how AI and automated decision-making processes are reshaping global security law and governance. The advertisement is now online and available here. The application window closes on 15 February 2025. The successful applicant will be awarded a scholarship that includes a stipend for three years and that covers tuition fees. There is also additional funding included for fieldwork costs. They will be part of an exciting research team with myself and two postdocs, that I’ll be recruiting for shortly.
There are three workstreams in the project (i) digital border infrastructures (ii) platform security infrastructures; and (iii) counterterrorism watchlisting infrastructures. The PhD researcher is expected to work in one of these areas, commencing in the academic year 2025/2026. Applicants may come from a range of disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary backgrounds (including STS, Critical Data Studies, Critical Security Studies etc). A background in law is desirable, but not essential. The scholarship is open to UK, EU and international applicants, but the successful candidate will need to be based in Edinburgh. Candidates likely to be underrepresented at the University of Edinburgh are strongly encouraged to apply.
I would be grateful if you could circulate this call amongst your networks and share it with any potential applicants you may know. I would be happy to discuss the role informally or answer any questions for anyone who is interested, so please do encourage potential applicants to reach out.

I’m hoping to send the call for the PhD scholarship and opportunity to join my research team as widely as possible. If you have particular suggestions of particular forums or mailing lists where STS/CDS fellowships and postdocs are usually circulated, I’d be grateful if you could let me know.
