ABOUT THE ROLE

As part of this position, you will work at the intersection of data science, AI, ethics, and privacy to develop innovative solutions for integrating diverse data sources while safeguarding transparency and security in data lifecycles. This position is central to ensuring that data practices align with accountability and fairness targets.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

You would be working on designing and optimizing data integration and artificial intelligence algorithms for honest computing systems (e.g. distributed ledger systems, trusted execution environments, …), ensuring they are efficient, scalable, and secure data integration. This could involves developing innovative solutions for blind data quality assessment or deploying differential privacy techniques, ensuring datasets are evaluated and queried without compromising privacy or transparency, always keeping the machine accountable. By integrating these advanced methods, you would play a pivotal role in building reliable and ethically sound data ecosystems. This work would require you to build relationships with all our stakeholders to understand their scientific questions and data.
