        Subject: Funded PhD, open-source software or alternative economic and production structures in digital tech, Uni of Potsdam, Germany

I have an opening for a funded PhD position in open-source software or
alternative economic and production structures within digital tech as
part of my team in the Digital Technology, Governance and Policy
Research Group at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Digital Engineering at
the University of Potsdam in Germany. The funding is for three years
commencing in spring 2025.

Potsdam is located within easy commuting distance of Berlin - on the
same metro system. Knowledge of German or some willingness to learn is
helpful to live and work in Germany, but our team's working language is
English; you can write and defend your PhD and take any necessary
classes and trainings in English; the majority of university and
administrative processes are bilingual, and many people live long-term
(including within our team) without learning German.

As a team, we sit at the intersection of the technical and social. We
are looking for someone who can combine quantitative computational work
with qualitative elements, and who is motivated by and grounded in
social science theories and concerns while also being able to interface
and work with computer scientists and digital engineers.

Further information, including application materials and how to apply
can be found at:

position-%28mfx%29-Digital-Technology%2C-Governance-and-Policy-14482/1139868055/
The application deadline is Friday 28th February.

Best,
Gillian Bolsover
Professor of Digital Technology Governance and Policy
