Goldsmiths, University of London is a world-leading centre of educational excellence where ground-breaking research meets innovative teaching and thinking. We're looking for inspiring and talented people to help build on our global reputation while also growing personally in a true learning organisation.
Summary
The role holder will be responsible for assisting with research, the development of external grant applications, the production of research publications and the organisation of events related to the AI Justice research programme led by Professor Lina Dencik.
This programme seeks to explore the meaning of social justice in an age of datafication and artificial intelligence (AI). Acknowledging that AI-based systems do not implicate everyone in the same way, thus creating new or amplifying existing inequalities, the programme investigates the following questions: What does social justice look like in an age of AI? In what ways are people and communities impacted by the growing use of AI in society, and what are their responses? What are the implications of AI for key areas such as policing, migration and social welfare? How might AI applications be regulated and how is accountability conceptualised in systems of automation?
Candidate
We are looking for an individual who can undertake basic research in the area of AI/data; contribute to the production of research publications and other programme outputs; organise and/or coordinate events related to the area of AI/data justice; support the programme’s efficient administration; and undertake any other duties that may be required from time to time
