FORSEE is a cooperation project coordinated by the University College Dublin, aiming to offer sociologically grounded insights into stakeholders' expectations and criteria of success regarding AI systems.

  • Very good organizational skills, capability to work independently and as a team member;
  • Previous experience with discourse and policy analysis;
  • Existing expertise / proven interest in the thematic area of the project;
  • Excellent oral and written command of the English language;

  • Flexible working hours and the possibility of mobile working (at least 20% of the weekly working hours agreed in the contract);
  • We promote a good work-life balance;
  • Comprehensive program for continuous professional development and further qualification, in the own discipline and beyond;
