Description
We are seeking a full-time Programme Officer to join the Technical AI Governance programme at the Department of Engineering Science in central Oxford. The post is funded by the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative and is fixed-term for 3 years.
The Technical AI Governance (TAIG) programme at the Department of Engineering Science is a first-of-its-kind research programme that bridges the gap between cutting-edge AI research and effective governance. TAIG researchers work in tandem with the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative (AIGI) to improve the impact of AI on global societal outcomes through impactful research that is rigorously grounded in the social and computational sciences, decision-maker education campaigns, and training the next generations of technology governance leaders.
You will be responsible for the following (full descriptions available from the job description):
- Student Support and Programme Coordination
- Administrative and Grant Proposal Support
- Events and Visitor Logistics
- University Processes and General Support
You will be educated to at least undergraduate level (or equivalent experience) with the demonstrable intellectual capacity, reasoning and analytical skills expected of a graduate, with excellent written and oral communication skills, including a high standard of written English and experience presenting information in written form to a variety of audiences.
