Faculty of Law, Cambridge central

The Faculty of Law is an academic department that encompasses law along with many aspects of social science, policy and technology. We have a worldwide reputation for academic research with consistent top research ratings. The Faculty has an open and collaborative culture, supporting leading legal research, strong cross-cutting collaborations internally and externally, and ideas which transform law outside the University. Please follow the link at: https://www.law.cam.ac.uk/ to find out more about our Faculty. We are looking for a Research Assistant/Associate in Artificial Intelligence to join our research group to work on a legal AI research, an AHRC funded project led by Prof. Felix Steffek, starting on 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be based in the Faculty of Law. The project will focus on novel approaches towards explainable and ethical artificial intelligence (AI) in law. A particular focus will be on predicting decisions of the UK Employment Tribunal (UKET). Our group has already established preliminary approaches to case outcome prediction for the UKET. The relevant papers have been accepted in leading conferences and journals. We are now exploring innovative ways of more detailed prediction and integrating legal arguments into machine learning. The project aims to advance the frontiers of the ethical use of AI in legal dispute resolution and improve access to justice. Interested candidates are encouraged to read the following recent publications of our group: https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.08098 and https://neurips.cc/virtual/2023/poster/73448.
