London, United Kingdom Alan Turing Institute Full time

The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute is named in honour of the scientist Alan Turing and its mission is to make great leaps in data science and artificial intelligence research in order to change the world for the better.

**Position**:
The Public Policy research programme works alongside policy makers to explore how data-driven public service provision and policy innovation might help to solve long running societal problems. We also work hand-in-hand with public sector organisations and citizens to develop practice-based ethical standards for the responsible development and use of data science and AI. Our dynamic group has co-produced—with the Office for AI and the Government Digital Service—the UK Government’s official public sector guide for designing and implementing ethical and safe AI. We have also co-authored—with the Information Commissioner’s Office—the first guidance ever released by a UK regulator on explaining AI-assisted decisions.

**ROLE PURPOSE**

Among the ongoing projects in which the Research Assistant may be actively involved are:

- Developing innovative curricular material and delivery methods for our national Turing Commons training platform;
- Producing an algorithmic impact assessment and assurance framework with a concentration on international human rights as well as an accompanying user’s guide;
- Advancing global and intercultural perspectives on data justice through collaborative research and public engagement;
- Supporting the development of a global AI policy and governance network that brings together civil society organisations, policymakers, developers, and impacted communities to explore some of the most pressing AI and technology policy issues facing the society of tomorrow.

**DUTIES AND AREAS OF RESPONSIBILIT**Y**
- Assist the Public Policy Programme’s Ethics Theme in the development and delivery of research outputs. This work may include both desk and field research duties with a view to creating actionable policies, best practices, and other recommendations.
- Help the Public Policy programme organise workshops, events, and public engagement exercises.
- Participate in internal seminars of relevant research interest groups, as well as external meetings with representatives of government agencies, third sector organisations, and the media.

**Requirements**:

- A Master’s degree awarded in a discipline with a specialism that provides suitable theoretical tools for understanding the ethical issues raised by data science, AI, and related digital technologies, and their social implications. Equivalent professional experience will also be considered.
- Experience in applied ethics research, e.g. computing ethics, business ethics, medical ethics, environmental ethics, and within organisational settings such as ethics committees, ethics review boards, governmental agencies, the third sector, or private organisations.
- A developing record of scientific publication (appropriate to stage of career development), which may include journal articles, book chapters, and policy reports/white papers.
- Any one or more of the following: (1) Have experience researching and/or teaching topics relevant to AI ethics; (2) have familiarity with human rights frameworks and algorithmic impact assessments; (3) have familiarity with topics related to data justice, examples include data feminism, data colonialism, indigenous data sovereignty, and environmental and climate justice, amongst others; or (4) have experience thinking critically about international AI policy and governance.
- Excellent communication skills in writing and speaking.
- Interpersonal skills relevant to working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and communicating with stakeholders in academia, the public sector, and industry.
- Experience supporting research including desk-based literature review, content analysis and summary, and compiling and formatting bibliographic material.
