Job description

Two postdoctoral researchers are being recruited for the ‘Your Boss is a Machine – Protecting Worker Autonomy in an AI-Driven Economy’ project, funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship Grant and led by Associate Professor Kate Vredenburgh. Each postdoctoral researcher will be hosted at the Centre for Philosophy of the Natural and Social Sciences at the LSE, although they will have the opportunity to interact with a range of departments at the LSE through collaboration and mentorship. Each position is tenable in the first instance for two years during the fixed term period of the grant project, with the possibility to extend a further year that is contingent upon successful project renewal in 2028.

A broad range of philosophical and social scientific contributions under the project heading are welcomed. The project website can be found at: https://www.lse.ac.uk/cpnss/funded-research-projects/your-boss-is-a-machine.
