Applications are invited for a Temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral
Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD College of Business and School of
Information & Communication Studies.
The primary goal of this project is to understand whether the design of
current human- AI voice agents reinforce and perpetuate existing gender
biases. Specifically, the aim of the proposed research is to assess if
the gendering of AI assistants that are being employed to solve
predominately assistive tasks (e.g., note taking or creation of shopping
lists) reinforce existing gender roles and gender stereotypes.
The post doc will be working with Associate Prof. Marius Claudy (UCD
College of Business), Assistant Prof. Anshu Suri (UCD College of
Business) and Associate Prof. Benjamin Cowan (UCD Information &
Communication Studies).
This is an academic research role, where you will conduct a specified
programme of research supported by research training and development
under the supervision and direction of the Principal Investigators.
The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research
skills and competences, including the processes of publication in
peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding
proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the
opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.
Fixed Salary: €39,522 per annum
Closing date: 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on 5TH August 2022
