Beschrijving
Are you a public administration scholar with an ambitious international research agenda and a keen eye to innovative education and societal impact? Then we welcome your application at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU).Location: AMSTERDAM
FTE:
Job description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live and our societies. Public organisations and our public institutions, too, are no exception. Algorithms and automation reshape public administration, public sector decision-making and the delivery of public services in fundamental ways. Artificial intelligence algorithms are increasingly adopted by governments in high-stakes public domains. Simultaneously, how governments and public bodies communicate and relate to citizens is being redefined by algorithms with critical feedback effects for administrative and political systems. The digital transformation brought on by the proliferation of AI in government, thus comes with key implications for administrative and democratic processes.
The Department of Political Science and Public Administration at VU Amsterdam invites applications for 2 posts:
We are explicitly recruiting public administration candidates with a profile focus in the area of algorithmic governance and digital technologies, regulation of new technologies and impact on governance, or computational social science. One of the positions is open track (Assistant or Associate Professor) – the post is available at either level, appointment will be made commensurate with the selected applicant's experience and track-record.
In this role, you teach primarily in the Governance and Organisation bachelor and in the Public Administration master, namely in our new English language master's track on Artificial Intelligence and Governance. You are expected to make significant contributions to our thriving research programme on New Public Governance (NPG). The mission of NPG is to advance our theoretical and empirical knowledge of contemporary governance practices, to critically reflect on those practices, improve them, and set the agenda on further big questions arising from the academic governance debate. In our mission we emphasize inspired and engaged public administration, and the underlying values of responsibility, openness and personal involvement.
We offer a position in a thriving and engaged department that is dedicated to outstanding research, education and societal impact in public governance. We take great pride in maintaining strong contacts with societal partners. At a faculty level, we offer a strong interdisciplinary research master program on approaching societal problems with computational social science. Professional support for the acquisition of research subsidies is available through the faculty's research institute, and substantive collaborations through the R&I Artificial Intelligence and Digital Governance Lab. At the inter-faculty level, we benefit from thematic cross-faculty collaborations around the VU theme 'Governance for Society' and more specific themes, such as security, welfare, care and migration.
