[ecrea] Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Digital Life Initiative, Cornell Tech

The Digital Life Initiative (DLI) is accepting applications for 
postdoctoral fellows whose work aligns with DLI's focus on societal 
perspectives on digital technologies, focusing on key ethical and 
political issues, such as privacy, accountability, access, security, and 
fairness. We welcome applicants from a range of disciplines including 
computer and information sciences, law, philosophy, data science, media 
studies, public policy, and social science whose work is concerned with 
ethics, politics, and quality of life.
 Fellows will work with Professor Helen Nissenbaum, Director of the 
Digital Life Initiative. Depending on areas of specialization and mutual 
interest, fellows will have opportunities to collaborate with other DLI 
Affiliated Faculty (including Deborah Estrin, James Grimmelmann, Tom 
Ristenpart, and Vitaly Shmatikov) and with researchers at other U.S. and 
international research institutions. This is a one-year position with 
possibility of renewal.
 --Qualifications--
Eligible candidates will have received their PhD within the past three 
years. We welcome applications from graduating PhD students and junior 
faculty seeking postdoctoral positions. Law or MD graduates or ABDs with 
strong backgrounds or work experience in related fields are also 
eligible to apply.
 Fellows are expected to pursue original research in their respective 
areas and participate in their research community within Cornell Tech. 
We welcome both solo and collaborative projects, which can be guided by 
ongoing DLI projects.
 Fellows are expected to reside in the New York City area and 
participate actively in the intellectual life of Cornell Tech and the 
Digital Life Initiative. In addition, Fellows may enhance DLI activities 
in various ways, e.g., by arranging or helping to arrange workshops, 
conferences, or seminars. Details of such engagement are fluid and 
depend on Fellows' interests and institutional need.
 --About the Digital Life Initiative--
Embedded within the progressive teaching mission of Cornell Tech on 
Roosevelt Island in New York City, the Digital Life Initiative 
(dli.tech.cornell.edu) was launched in 2017 to analyze the societal 
tensions arising from existing and emergent digital technologies. 
Inspired by the core values of justice, democracy, privacy,

projects that explore ethics, policy, politics and quality of life 
within prevailing socio-technical systems.
 Cornell Tech and the Digital Life Initiative offer a unique 
opportunity for individuals who flourish in an environment that fosters 
close interdisciplinary collaboration. Our robust connections between 
computer scientists, engineers, information scientists, legal scholars, 
and others, along with our close proximity to the thriving industry and 
academic communities of New York City allows Initiative members to 
create new research connections.
