CFI is based at the University of Cambridge, with partners in Imperial College London, and UC Berkeley, and close links with industry and policymakers. More information is available at: https://www.lcfi.ac.uk/.
The Research Assistant will support CFI’s Academic Director, Dr Stephen Cave, with a range of tasks related to research project development, research process, publication and dissemination. This could include literature reviews; proofreading; identifying potential partners; assisting with the drafting of reports, material for webpages or social media posts; and aspects of project and academic event management. One important strand will be assisting with a new book series for Cambridge University Press, Elements in AI Ethics and Society, which Dr Cave is editing with Dr Kerry McInerney.
Applicants should have, or be studying for, a postgraduate qualification in a field relevant to the ethics and governance of AI (including philosophy, political science, science and technology studies, HCI, sociology, or related fields). Applicants must have demonstrable specialisation in AI ethics. All applicants should be able to demonstrate strong motivation in line with the goals of CFI, as well as capacity to work independently and in collaboration with others.
