Academic posts
Invited Associate Common Room members
Category A (Launching MT24)
By virtue of demonstrated and significant association with, and support of, the College. This may include individuals outside of the University, but also senior officers of the University Administration and Services, and other Departments.
Agreement to membership is discretionary, with applications reviewed by College committee. If granted, membership will be for two years in the first instance and can be applied to be renewed annually thereafter. At that point the relevant college committee will include the applicant’s name in the list proposed to Governing Body on an annual basis for continued AMCR membership and, if agreed, the member will be asked to pay a small annual charge towards administration.
Members must be supported or nominated by two GB Fellows and/or the President of the College and supporting evidence must cite the benefit the nominated individual has brought, or is expected to bring, to the College in pursuit of its charitable objectives. Membership might be offered, for example, to those who have supported the College in its founding years.
Deadline: 24th October 2024
Apply here: Category A form
Post-Doctoral (or equivalent) Associate Common Room Members
Category B (Launching HT25)
By virtue of association with a Fellow of the College or other academic connection with the College’s interests and themes.
Agreement to membership is discretionary, with applications reviewed by college committee. If granted, membership will be for two years and is non-renewable, so as to allow for a turnover in membership and extension over time across a wide number of post-doctoral employees (or employees at an equivalent standing in departments, such as lab managers) in differing fields.
Opportunities for membership within this category will be advertised to members across the University (for example, through the Researcher Hub) and, where possible, applications review in a gathered field. Applications must be supported or nominated by a GB Fellows and/or President of the College and supporting evidence must cite the mutual benefit expected by the association, for example in engagement with theme or strategic area activities by virtue of the applicant’s academic specialism. In assessing applications the relevant college committee will give due consideration to achieving a reflective balance of the College’s interests, and ensuring a broad range of membership. Membership would be contingent on continued holding of a postdoctoral (or equivalent – normally with PhD or in Grade 7+) post at the University and would be offered on a non-renewable basis, so as to ensure that the benefit of associate membership is not restricted to a relatively static cohort over time.
Deadline: 27th January 2025
Apply here: Category B form
Early Career Research Fellow in Ethics in AI (Democracy, Human Rights and AI)
Applications are invited for a full-time Early Career Research Fellow in Ethics in AI at the Faculty of Philosophy, in association with Reuben College, presenting an outstanding opportunity for career advancement in a relatively new field of research. The post is fixed-term for two years.
The successful candidate will be expected to provide evidence of exceptional potential for academic research and publication. They need not have already carried out research on ethics in AI, but must demonstrate evidence of the potential to undertake significant research which will contribute to the work of the Institute for Ethics in AI. As an Early Career Fellow at Reuben College, candidates will be expected to attend academic and social events during term, organise one event each year, and act as a college advisor for up to six graduate students.
Successful candidates will hold a doctoral degree in a field relevant to the study of the inter-relations of human rights and AI, or will at least have submitted a doctoral dissertation submitted for examination by the advertised closing date for this position, and will be expected to provide evidence of an outstanding academic research record, appropriate to their career stage. Also essential are excellent research skills, and the ability to work independently and without close supervision.
