Syracuse University's Autonomous Systems Policy Institute invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in the interdisciplinary study of autonomous systems and/or artificial intelligence (AI). The postdoc will work with Dr. Jamie Winders and other faculty on research related to the policy needs or societal impacts of emerging technologies associated with autonomous systems and/or AI. We are particularly interested in candidates who connect their research to one or more of the following themes: technology policy & regulation; transportation policy; infrastructure; privacy & surveillance; healthcare; international security & law; environmental impacts & applications of emerging technologies; the future of work & workers; impacts on marginalized communities; society & technology; and urban/regional planning. This position will offer exceptional opportunities to collaborate with scholars in the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities and with new faculty hired as part of a cluster hire initiative in autonomous systems, AI, and the human-technology frontier. At least 25% of the scholar's time will be reserved for the individual's own research. The initial term of appointment is one year, starting in August 2022, but reappointment for a second year is expected, subject to good performance.
