This is the last week to apply for one of four postdoctoral research positions at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. We are seeking researchers in disciplines including: economics, science and technology studies, science policy, arms control policy, expert elicitation and aggregation, conservation studies and philosophy.
The application requires a research proposal of no more than 1500 words from an individual with a relevant doctorate.
“We are looking for outstanding and highly-committed researchers, interested in working as part of growing research community, with research projects relevant to any aspect of the project. We invite applicants to explain their project to us, and to demonstrate their commitment to the study of extreme technological risks.
We have several shovel-ready projects for which we are looking for suitable postdoctoral researchers. These include:
1. Ethics and evaluation of extreme technological risk (ETR) (with Sir Partha Dasgupta;
2. Horizon-scanning and foresight for extreme technological risks (with Professor William Sutherland);
3. Responsible innovation and extreme technological risk (with Dr Robert Doubleday and the Centre for Science and Policy).
However, recruitment will not necessarily be limited to these subprojects, and our main selection criterion is suitability of candidates and their proposed research projects to CSER’s broad aims.
More details are available here. Applications close on April 24th.
