Assistant Professor Digital Inequalities

Job

This assistant professorship position is designed to reinforce and complement our expertise in the study of digital inequalities. We welcome applications from candidates with a recent PhD, a solid theoretical and methodological background and an ambitious research agenda on social stratification and inequality, targeting publications in leading disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals. All disciplinary backgrounds are welcome as far as the research has strong connections with the social sciences. Several key areas of inequality research are essential for understanding the relationship between digital technologies and society. These include, but are not limited to, digital inequalities in access to and use of digital technologies, as well the consequences of digital technologies for individual’s life chances, for instance in terms of education and labor market outcomes, mobility, civic and political engagement. Another crucial area involves the use of computational methods, qualitative or mixed-methods approaches to measure and understand various patterns of social inequality. We are especially interested in research on artificial intelligence, algorithmic bias, and the impact of algorithmic recommendation systems on social inequality.
