About the project:

The project is a cooperation between the Universiy of Hamburg, the Hamburg 
University of Technology (TUHH) and the Hans-Bredow-Institute for Media 
Research. It offers six junior researcher positions, which will be 
situated in law, ethics and informatics. The researchers from the various 
disciplines will work closely together, e.g. by collaborating in joint 
work packages under co-supervision of senior researchers from the various 
disciplines.

The overarching scholarly aims of the project, which are to be closely connected to the PhD research projects, are:

-Creating a common terminology for the development of information 
governance technologies

-Gaining a deeper insight into the interplay between the perspectives of 
software development and architecture, ethics, politics and law within 
exemplary application domains

-Pushing the development of new methods and technologies for information 
governance

Your profile:

You hold a Master Degree in philosophy, ideally with a specialization in 
philosophy of technology, ethics or philosophy of law. You should be 
highly interested and ideally already exerienced in working in 
interdisciplinary settings. Of particular importance is an interest in 
exploring the intersection of law, informatics and ethics. Furthermore, we 
expect team skills and a strong sense of responsibility. Knowledge of the 
German language would be an advantage.
