[Commlist] PhD position at University of Manchester

Luke Yates and João C. Magalhães are recruiting a researcher to work on 
a doctoral project exploring how the emergence of GenAI is reshaping 
relationships among Big Tech and state and non-state political actors 
(parties, social movements, NGOs, media). The project will investigate 
attempts by companies to influence individual politicians, political 
organisations, and communities on AI-related subjects, as well as how 
these individuals and organisations understand and negotiate these attempts.

The aim is to help explain when, how, and why Big Tech succeeds or fails 
in pushing diverse political actors to trust their products and 
materialise their interests.

This is a four-year, fully funded position (no fees + stipend) financed 
by the AI Trust and Security Cluster at the Centre for Digital Trust and 
Society.

The successful candidate will be based in the Sociology Department 
(https://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/sociology/), a leading research 
centre.

Applications are restricted to UK candidates and should be submitted by 
13 February.
