PhD and PostDoc position in "Data, Knowledge, Society", Hamburg (Germany)

A PhD position (3 years, full-time) and a PostDoc position (full-time, 3 years + possibility of 3 years extension) are available in the newly established research group "Ethics in Information Technologies" at the University of Hamburg. For both positions we are looking for candidates with degrees in philosophy or related, relevant disciplines. Candidates from mathematics or informatics are also encouraged to apply, if they can demonstrate solid philosophical expertise.

In our research group "Ethics in Information Technologies" we analyze the ethical, epistemic, political and societal premises and implications of digital technologies. Based at the Department of Informatics, we also cooperate closely with colleagues from the Informatics department and actively participate in the design and development of new technologies. We further contribute to the academic, public and political debate around digitalisation.
