The position is advertised as part of the project TREAT - Towards Responsible Explainable AI Technologies (https://dff.dk/en/apply/supported-research/research-leaders/research-leader-2023/rune-nyrup), hosted at the Centre for Science studies.

In the assessment, emphasis will be placed on knowledge of the field of interdisciplinary ethics and epistemology of AI, as well as philosophical expertise relevant to the topic of explanatory legitimacy. This may include, but is not limited to, relevant prior research in philosophy of science, philosophy of technology, or applied ethics/political philosophy (e.g., values in science, explanation and understanding, the ethics of science communication, public health ethics). Applicants are encouraged to explain how their research experience will allow them to contribute to this project.
