Munich, Deutschland Technische Universität München Vollzeit

**About us**

This opportunity is offered by the chair of Philosophy and History of Science and Technology at the TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology (SOT), with positions housed at the TUM Think Tank as part of the Ethical Data Initiative currently under development. As an interdisciplinary, public-interest-minded, and impact-oriented team based at the TUM SOT, we study, teach, and shape in practice a broad range of policy and governance issues concerning innovative technologies. We work closely with external partners from academia, business, and society, such as UNESCO, FAO, CODATA and OECD, among many others.

**About the Ethical Data Initiative at the TUM Think Tank**

The Ethical Data Initiative is a global coordinating hub for research on data ethics and related education and policy activities. It brings together a network of relevant partners with the aim to scale up available resources to foster just, ethical and responsible data production, trading, processing and use around the world. We are particularly interested in developing training resources and governance models for under-resourced parts of society, including research institutions as well as small and medium enterprises, civil society organizations, social services, public administrations and other public bodies - which do crucial data work across the globe yet do not typically have in-house resources to develop skills in responsible data management.

The TUM Think Tank is a research-to-action institute created in 2022 as a collaborative effort between the Munich School of Politics and Public Policy and TUM. Its core aim is to strengthen the knowledge transfer between academia on the one hand, and civil society, business, and the public sector, on the other hand. The TUM Think Tank is home to various research and innovation labs, creating a vibrant ecosystem of researchers, innovators and practitioners form academia, industry and governance around two key questions: i) how we can employ emerging technologies for the benefit of society, and ii) ensure that emerging technologies are developed responsibly, human-centered, and democratically.

**Requirements (similar for both available positions)**
- PhD degree with a substantive focus on policy, governance, science studies (including history and philosophy of science and technology), science communication, ethics of AI; and/or data science, computer science, statistics or mathematics with a demonstrable interest in their social aspects and implications
- Interest and ability to engage in organizational tasks supporting the EDI, such as developing events to engage stakeholders and extend the network as it develops
- Intellectual curiosity and an open mindset, and the ability and motivation to work both independently and as member of teams
- Organizational skills and excitement to work in a fast-paced, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary environment
- Commitment to diversity and inclusion
- Very good English skills, with knowledge of the German language as a plus
- Prior working experience (incl. internships or volunteer work) is preferred Tasks
- Conducting research for the EDI on data ethics and related education and policy activities
- Creating learning modules in the area of responsible data use, data ethics and data governance, building on existing work by EDI leads and other data studies scholarship
- Carry out project management tasks for the EDI supervised by EDI leads
- Contributing to the intellectual life and community at the EDI, the TUM Think Tank and the Chair of Philosophy and History of Science and Technology
- Supporting organizational tasks (e.g., organizing conferences, hackathons and workshops)

**Our offer**

**What to expect**
- The possibility of carrying out research and develop highly impactful training and policy resources in the field of data studies, and responsible data science and AI
- Working in a cutting-edge research, training, policy and outreach effort funded by TUM and the University of Exeter, with a view to establishing it as a long-term institute and employer (conditional on successful follow-on funding)
- Being part of the Ethical Data Initiative with the opportunity to shape and build this new initiative at the TUM Think Tank
- Working in a highly collaborative team of researchers from science studies, philosophy and history of science, data studies, AI ethics, education, policy, legal, and computer science over the course of three years
- The opportunity to participate in collaborative academic publishing and engage with the broader scientific community through workshop and/or conference visits.
- Mentorship and continuous support in building an independent academic and professional profile.
