[Commlist] Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Digital Technology for Democracy Lab/UVA

The University of Virginia’s Digital Technology for Democracy (DTD) Lab 
invites applications for 2-year postdoctoral fellowships. The 
fellowships will begin in August of 2026 and run through August 2028. At 
the DTD Lab, which is part of the Karsh Institute of Democracy, our 
understandings of democracy and technology, and their intersections, are 
broad and interdisciplinary. We expect candidates to be creative in 
their approaches and, at the same time, to clearly articulate their 
personal understanding of technology and democracy in their project 
proposal.

We are particularly interested in transdisciplinary research that 
addresses key topics at the intersection of digital technology and 
democracy, and we are eager to bring in a cohort that addresses these 
issues at global, regional, and local levels. We seek a broad range of 
viewpoints, perspectives, and experiences and welcome applications from 
all over the world. The Lab will work with the UVA International Studies 
Office to sponsor visas as needed.

The annual salary for each position is $65,000, with additional research 
funding of $5,000 per year. In addition to salary and research funding, 
standard UVA resources will be provided, including healthcare, computing 
resources, and access to library support and VIVA-negotiated collective 
agreements that lower or eliminate APCs with select publishers.
