FARI is an independent, not-for-profit Artificial Intelligence initiative led by two universities in Brussels: the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). This initiative will aim at helping citizens, politicians and companies as well as not-for-profit organizations to address local, every day or long-term challenges in the Brussels-Capital Region, FARI is an independent, not-for-profit Artificial Intelligence initiative led by two universities in Brussels: the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). This initiative will aim at helping citizens, politicians and companies as well as not-for-profit organizations to address local, every day or long-term challenges in the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium and Europe. It brings world-leading and future researchers to the service of the city. It reinforces a virtuous circle: the city encounters problems that FARI can help address with projects that in their turn could lead to major scientific advances, especially in the field of AI (Explainable and Trustworthy), Data (Open) and Robotics (human-centric).
The research group Law Science Technology & Society (LSTS) is inviting applications for a 2-year postdoctoral researcher. As such you will:
We seek candidates with the ability to work together with AI developers and computer scientists, developing a grounded ‘legal protection by design’ approach, rooted in in-depth knowledge of the relevant legal domains, notably that of fundamental rights, the case law of European Court of Human Rights and the EU Court of Justice, and a proper understanding of ‘by design approaches’ to legal protection.
As FARI aims to have local impact, conducting AI research that has a positive impact in local communities, fluency in French and/or Dutch will be a major advantage.
December 2022 or January 2023
The appointment is for 1 year, and can be extended for another year.
