About The Role
As a Post-Doc Research Fellow on AI, Gender and Race for Recruitment and Development in HR you will aim to publish journal articles on the impact of AI recruitment tools in relation to gender and racial inequalities at work. This will draw on existing and original research in this field. You will work directly with Professor Jacqueline O’Reilly, Co-Director of Digit on these publications.
Where appropriate you will be expected to give in-person presentations of this research at agreed conferences and other relevant events that will promote the work of Digit and this project in particular. You will be expected to collaborate with the communications team in producing relevant policy briefs and blogs as deemed useful.
About You
Ideally, you will have recently completed a PhD in an area related to the use of AI recruitment tools and their differential impact on different gendered and racial communities. You will have the skills to manage your own workload and at times, support other colleagues. You will communicate clearly with the team, line management, and stakeholders.
