Research Fellow, The Use of Automated Knowledge in

1 month ago


Melbourne, Australia RMIT University Full time

Overview:

- Part-time (0.6FTE), 2.5 year Fixed Term position
- Salary Academic Level B ($110,868 - $131,659) + 17% Superannuation and Flexible Working Arrangements
- Based at the Melbourne CBD campus, but may be required to work and/or be based at other campuses of the University

About the Role

The Research Fellow will contribute to a 2.5 year project investigating the impact of generative AI on organisational structures and inter-organisational interactions, aiming to develop an AI theory of the firm. Organisations are central to knowledge dissemination and value creation in society, functioning as complex rule systems that deploy knowledge to achieve specific goals. Historically, advances in ICT have enabled organisations to grow and improve efficiency, but their fundamental structure has remained largely unchanged.

The research will examine changes to organisational and inter-group coordination as complex knowledge systems such as generative AI become more accessible. This includes confidentiality needs, inter-group knowledge-sharing systems, methods for handling differing organisational or community ontologies, and group/organisation-level governance approaches in relation to AI and automated decision-making. The research will also examine the adoption of decentralised AI within organisational contexts and the organisational capabilities required to make effective use of AI. The Research Fellow will need experience of digital ethnography methods and practice, including experience and/or thorough understanding of computer aided ethnography approaches and tools.

ADM+S Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are integral to the ADM+S Centre’s mission: to create knowledge and strategies for responsible, ethical, and inclusive automated decision-making (ADM). The Centre recognises that racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism are principal obstacles to equity, diversity and inclusion, and remain primary causes of injustice and inequality. We believe that responsible, ethical, and inclusive ADM can deliver broad social benefits, including reducing inequalities for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, the LGBTIQ+ community, people living with disability and those from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, are strongly encouraged to apply.

To be successful in this position, you’ll have:

- Completion of a PhD in a relevant discipline area, such as media and communication studies, anthropology or STS within the past 5 years at the time of appointment, not including periods of career interruption due to carer’s responsibilities, parental leave, illness, or disability.
- Demonstrated experience in developing and/or using social, cultural or historical research methods, including digital ethnography methods in a relevant research context.
- Proven scholarly writing skills and experience in preparing publications for a variety of audiences, including scholarly articles in high-quality refereed journals, book chapters, and/or books.
- Proven ability to work independently to generate distinctive contributions to scholarly knowledge and/or create real world outcomes.
