The Tilburg Law and Economics Center at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work, in a team, on “Artificial Intelligence in Autocratic Countries.” The goal of the project is to produce both fundamental research on the political economy of AI-development in autocratic countries (esp. China and Russia) and applicable advice for European policy makers.
Candidates should have a PhD in a social science, good empirical skills and experience in working with data (econometrics, statistics, and/or data science). The specific discipline of the PhD does not matter but political scientists, economists, economic geographers, or area specialists of China and/or Russia (or a related autocratic country and governance institutions) may have an advantage. Applicants should also have knowledge and interest in (i) politics, international relations, or political economy and also in (ii) digital industries, technology innovation, or AI-development. Specific knowledge of the countries, institutions, and languages of China or Russia is a plus but not mandatory.
Application deadline is 6 October 2024.
