Cambridge Centre for Research Assistant (Fixed Term)
Cambridge Institute for Technology and Humanity, Cambridge
This is an exciting opportunity to work within the research project titled "Imaginaries of Immortality in the Age of AI: an Intercultural Analysis", led by Dr Katarzyna Nowaczyk-Basi¿ska and funded by Schmidt Sciences. The ideal candidate will contribute to impact-oriented work at the intersection of cultural studies, media studies, and death studies.
The Research Assistant will support the development, research, and valorisation of impact-oriented projects within the Desirable Digitalisation team, as part of the Narratives and Justice programme, a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge and Bonn and numerous international partners. The programme investigates how to place the questions of social justice and environmental sustainability at the heart of technology development and how to translate theoretical insights about historical injustices and discrimination into new technology design methods and education tools.
