The RA's research agenda will be expected to align with the technology, human rights and democracy theme. Applicants should furthermore have experience with applied research in this area, whether this is action research, design-led research, or another type of applied research.
Candidates should hold a PhD in a relevant social science discipline, or computer science with a strong interdisciplinary social science element, and should have a research record in line with their career stage. They should also have excellent communication skills and experience working in a team as well as independently. Past participation in strategic development of applied research is desirable.
