The Max Planck Society is offering one three-year post-doctoral research fellowship as part of the newly-established Minerva Fast Track Research Group "Artificial Justice" at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and Private International Law in Hamburg.
“Artificial Justice” applies interdisciplinary methods to the study of automated, artificial, and algorithmic reasoning in law. Group members research a wide array of topics ranging from pre-modern fantasies of “justice machines,” the transition from legal logic to legal information science, cultural attitudes towards courtroom tech, and the emerging “right to a human decision” to contemporary proposals for AI-powered “lawbots.” Collaboratively, Group members explore a set of more general issues, including the relationship between normative and empirical expertise, law’s epistemological status vis-à-vis technology and the natural sciences as well as limits and opportunities of legal interdisciplinarity.
The position is open to junior scholars of all disciplines, including law, literature, philosophy, linguistics, history and anthropology of science, media studies, and computer science. Candidates ought to hold a doctorate in their chosen field of study by the time they take up the fellowship.
Applications must be received by 31 July 2024. Materials will be reviewed immediately, and interview requests for short-listed candidates will be sent out shortly after the deadline. The earliest start date for the position is 1 September 2024.
