Job opportunities: Postdoctoral Research Fellows (x2) – The University of Edinburgh

Dear all

We are currently looking to recruit two post-doctoral researchers to join an exciting interdisciplinary research project funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI): Infra-Legalities: Global Security Infrastructures, Artificial Intelligence and International Law. This project is examining how AI and automated decision-making processes are reconfiguring global security law and governance, focusing on three areas: (i) digital bordering infrastructures; (ii) platform infrastructures for governing terrorist and violent extremist content online; and (iii) counterterrorism watchlisting infrastructures. These two-year posts are part of a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project led by myself, Gavin Sullivan, at Edinburgh Law School. Applicants can 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. Experience with empirical social science/STS/socio-legal research and a strong interest in problems of algorithmic governance, data infrastructures and data-driven injustice will be an advantage. More information about the roles and how to apply are available here. The deadline for applications is 28 February 2025. If you have questions about the application process, please email: Law.HR@ed.ac.uk. For queries about the research project, you can contact me (g.sullivan@ed.ac.uk) or visit: bit.ly/3PHPrkj.

best
