Oxford Internet Institute

Grade 7 (£31,076 to £38,183 per annum) The Oxford Internet Institute is a leading centre for research into individual, collective and institutional behaviour on the Internet. We are looking for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher to collaborate with Professor Luciano Floridi on the ethical challenges posed by the Internet of Things, with a particular focus on privacy, trust, and personal identity. The Postdoctoral Researcher will review the literature, elaborate new analyses and hypotheses, and publish the results, in collaboration with Professor Floridi. The selected candidate will also contribute to the dissemination of the findings through presentations, the organisation of workshops, participation into conferences, and social media. The position is suited to candidates who have completed a doctorate in Philosophy or any other relevant discipline (for example Computer Science, Economics, Geography, Law, Sociology, STS, the list is only indicative) with a demonstrable strong component of ethics. Excellent writing, presentation abilities, and analytical skills are required. A record of publications in international peer-reviewed journals and the proven ability to obtain research funding, both commensurate with the stage of the candidate’s academic career, are very desirable. This position is available immediately for 24 months in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal thereafter, funding permitting. The application form for, and further details about, this position can be found on the Oxford University’s recruitment website. Only applications received before 12:00 midday GMT on 30 November 2016 will be considered. Interviews for those short-listed are currently planned to take place on 20 December 2016.
