[ecrea] Job Vacancy: Research Officer, Ethics and the Internet of Things

LSE’s Department of Media and Communications, established in 2003, 
comprises internationally acclaimed faculty who conduct critical, 
empirical and engaged research into the central role of media and 
communications within contemporary society. We are currently seeking a 
research officer to join us by working on the EU Horizon 2020 VIRT-EU 
project - “Values and Ethics in Innovation for Responsible Technology in 
Europe.” The project includes five European research partners: ITU (DK); 
Open Rights Group (UK), Uppsala University (SE), Politechnico di Torino 
(IT) and Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (DK). The goal of 
the project is to analyze and map the ethical practices of European 
hardware and software entrepreneurs, maker and hacker spaces, and 
community innovators in order to:

*   understand how IoT innovators enact ethics as they design future 
devices,

*   generate a new framework for Privacy, Ethical and Social Impact 
Assessment (PESIA)

*   develop tools to support ethical reflection and self-assessment as 
part the design and development process for IoT technologies.
