        Subject: Three PhD Positions in AI, Digital Culture and Deep Learning

Dear all.

The new European Research Council-funded Advanced Grant ‘Deep Culture - Living
with Difference in the Age of Deep Learning’ invites applications for three
fully-funded PhD positions in Amsterdam. Collaborating with two PostDocs, the
aim is to realise an ambitious interdisciplinary research agenda on deep
learning and culture. Deep learning technologies like ChatGPT have generated a
lot of excitement about our new relations with AI but have also provoked much
public anxiety. The project coins ‘deep culture’ to describe the global cultural
transformations brought about by deep learning, and how culture is key to deep
learning. The project will first explore the relations between deep learning and
historical-cultural concepts and practices. Secondly, it will work with deep-
learning methods to address their limitations for critical analysis. Finally, it
aims to foster public understanding of deep learning’s global relations to
culture.

We are looking for three talented, ambitious PhD candidates who can combine
independent research with team collaboration. You will have the opportunity to
explore exciting questions of contemporary digital culture and deep learning and
contribute to shaping debates about our relations with AI technologies. For

All best,
Tobias
