München: Postdoctoral Research Associate (100%)

The PARTIALJUSTICE project and the team at the Institute of History and Ethics in Medicine is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (m/f/d), 100%

We are looking for a 100% postdoctoral research associate beginning in Summer 2026, for a term of 2 years with the possibility of an extension. The postdoc will join the ERC-Starting Grant project team on “Participatory Algorithmic Justice: A multi-sited ethnography to advance algorithmic justice through participatory design” (PARTIALJUSTICE) to examine issues of justice and participation in artificial intelligence (AI), led by Dr. Amelia Fiske. Despite its potential, AI is known to reinforce inequalities and result in negative consequences, for example, racial or gender bias, discrimination, or surveillance. This project advances collaborative, qualitative research to better understand who and what AI harms, but also how these harms should be redressed through multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork. This fieldwork will be integrated with participatory design workshops to develop specific interventions into problems identified by research collaborators. The goal of the project is to amplify the voices and concerns of those most negatively impacted by AI.

Deadline: 31.03.2026
