Are you a researcher looking for your first challenge? Are you excited to explore the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence on democratic and collective decision-making processes? Do you want to advance your career in by joining the Trustworthy Distributed Intelligence Lab to work in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities with industrial collaborations?
You will have a PhD or be a PhD candidate who has already submitted your thesis prior to starting the position, with a research track record on artificial intelligence, data science and computational social science, and a vivid interest on digital democracy, in particular, the areas of computational social choice (voting methods), deliberation and collective decision making. You will know how to work with data, in particular, collecting and analysing AI-assisted human choices and deliberation data. You will be excited to explore the opportunities and risks of large language models for AI assistance of human decision making, while you will be capable to apply machine learning and computational algorithms of social choice.
This post is associated with following projects:
- Embedding EDI in the Distribution of Research Funding: An AI-assisted Collective Intelligence Approach, AI for Collective Intelligence Hub
- Digitally-assisted Collective Governance of Smart City Commons (ARTIO), UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship
This role will be based at the university of Leeds campus and there is scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
