Job description
What does it mean to organise the ecosystem of businesses and organisations that are developing quantum technology such that this technology realises the public good? Innovation ecosystems tend to have technology development and economic success as the end goals of innovation governance.
Quantum Delta NL is the Dutch national quantum ecosystem that aims to deliver on economic competitiveness and on societal benefits of quantum technology development or what is termed 'quantum for good'.In order to achieve 'quantum for good', the ecosystem will need to align its processes and outcomes with societal needs and expectations such that quantum development in and by the ecosystem is acceptable, desirable and sustainable.
The governance of innovation ecosystems for the public good may be seen as the next step in responsible research and innovation of technology.
The goal of this PhD position is to take this next step toward responsible innovation ecosystem development by exploring the conditions and interventions necessary to shape a quantum ecosystem in ways that promote 'quantum for good'.
- Advance ethical frameworks for 'technology for good' within an ecosystem perspective.
- Build on and refine early work integrating Responsible Research and Innovation and insights from innovation studies to develop an ecosystem perspective on the ethics of quantum technology development.
- Development of practical interventions and recommendations for intervening in shaping the national quantum ecosystem towards 'quantum for good'.
Tasks and responsibilities:
- Conducting research on responsible innovation management within the context of the Quantum Delta NL ecosystem.
- Publish and present scientific articles in international journals and conferences.
- Contribute to educational activities.
- Write a dissertation (monograph or paperbased).
- You will be part of the Ethics/Philosophy of Technology department at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, and work within the Dutch Quantum Delta NL programme. You work together with Dr Pieter Vermaas and Dr Clare Shelley-Egan, TU Delft, and collaborate with researchers working on ethical, legal and society issues part of Action Line 4 of Quantum Delta NL Actionline4Ethicsand ).
Requirements:
- A Masters degree in management of technology, ethics and philosophy of technology, innovation studies, organisation studies, or Science and Technology Studies.
- Knowledge of and affinity with Responsible Research and Innovation as a mode of technology governance.
- Familiarity with literature addressing innovation ecosystems development.
- Experience in conducting case studies.
- Ability to work in teams.
- Ability to collaborate with researchers from other disciplines.
- Good academic writing skills.
- Proficiency in Dutch language would be helpful but is not required.
- Interested in participating in interdisciplinary educational activities.
