The University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public invites applications for up to two CIP postdoctoral fellows who will be hired as postdoctoral scholars.
The CIP is particularly interested in studies of information flow in sociotechnical systems; the role of information in the formation and dynamics of values, beliefs, or identities (race, gender, class, ability, etc.); and the role of researchers, educators, librarians, and policy makers in supporting healthy information environments and fostering a more informed and equitable society. Scholars with a strong background in public health, climate science, and related disciplines who are looking to bring their expertise to problems within the misinformation domain are also encouraged to apply. Scholars interested in the role of generative artificial intelligence technology, including tools that produce text, imagery, audio and synthetic data, and information integrity are also encouraged to apply.
CIP postdocs will join a growing team of faculty, students, community partners, and staff all actively involved in addressing the challenges of today’s complex and dynamic information environment, will be supervised by one of the Center co-founders and/or faculty, and will work closely with the entire CIP community on research projects in service of the Center’s mission. These positions will begin as early as June 2024 and offer a two-year term.
Applications will be accepted until filled. Review of applications will begin immediately, with preference given to applications received prior to January 15, 2024.
