Cambridge Centre for Research Associate to Droned Life: Data, Narrative, and the Aesthetics of Worldmaking (Fixed Term)
This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi-year interdisciplinary project on unmanned technologies, culture, and aesthetics funded by UKRI, hosted by the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge.
'Droned Life: Data, Narrative, and the Aesthetics of Worldmaking' invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate to join a research team investigating the politics and ethics of drone proliferation in fields such as war, art, humanitarianism, and ecology. Project themes include: the role of AI, sensors, and simulation in producing new ways of interpreting the world; the place of imaginaries in facilitating the increasing use of intrusive technologies; the role of visual culture in understanding drone technology's relationships to geopolitics and the environment.
