There may be the possibility of occasional remote working. Grade and salary Grade 7: £38,674-£40,855 Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term (18 months) Reporting to Dr. Carina Prunkl and Dr. Jun Zhao Vacancy reference 178191 The role Applications are invited for a full-time, fixed-term Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, jointly affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy (80%) and the Department of Computer Science (20%). Under the joint supervision of the project co-leads, Dr. Carina Prunkl (Institute for Ethics in AI) and Dr. Jun Zhao (Human Centred Computing), the postholder will contribute to the groundbreaking interdisciplinary research project Children’s Agency in the Age of AI (CHAILD), supported by UKRI. CHAILD (https://chaild.org) is among the first projects funded under the UKRI’s Cross Research Council Responsive Mode. Based in the Faculty of Philosophy, the successful candidate will join the Institute for Ethics in AI and become an active member thereof. They will also collaborate closely with teams from Oxford’s Human Centred Computing group and University College London. This role includes extensive research exchange opportunities among the three groups. Reporting to Dr. Carina Prunkl and Dr. Jun Zhao, the postholder will lead the development of a framework for children’s agency in the context of AI, as well as contribute to the design and development of AI-based systems to foster children’s agency. This work requires deep conceptual work on autonomy, agency, and education. It equally requires translating insights acquired from philosophical analysis into practical design frameworks and policy recommendations. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Co-I, PI, and other members of the CHAILD research team on the project, as well as independently leading and developing their own body of research in line with the project’s aims. The postholder will be a member of the Institute for Ethics in AI within the Faculty of Philosophy. About CHAILD AI systems are increasingly central to children's digital environments, encompassing connected toys, apps, voice assistants, and online learning platforms. While these systems offer valuable opportunities for children’s development and learning, they also pose significant risks, such as screen time addiction and various forms of online harm. Current approaches to children's digital experiences are largely dominated by restrictive and protective measures, neglecting children’s potential to exercise control and make age-appropriate, informed choices for themselves. While it may be challenging for younger children (especially those under 5) to make meaningful decisions, such approaches make little contribution to fostering children’s autonomous agency in a digital context. There is an urgent need for new frameworks, guidelines, and strategies for policymakers, developers, parents, and educators to better support children’s development, well-being, and safety in increasingly data intensive environments. The two-year UKRI-funded project CHAILD — Children’s Agency in the Age of AI: Leveraging Interdisciplinarity — aims to establish a foundational understanding of children’s agency in the age of AI. It aims to achieve the following objectives in the next two years: • Defining children’s critical agency in the digital context, by integrating interdisciplinary expertise, drawing on the knowledge of computer scientists, learning scientists, social scientists, and philosophers. • Establishing approaches to assess the impact of digital environments on agency, by leveraging existing assessment methods from psychology and education, incorporating insights from longitudinal studies, and observing developmental changes over time. • Developing design principles for promoting agency, by drawing on empirical evidence and collaborative co-development with industry partners, forming the basis for creating guidelines that promote children's agency in technological innovations. • Creating new guidelines for parental and educational support, by actively listening to the voices of parents and educators and co-creating materials and resources that directly address their needs. • Formulating policy recommendations to prioritise children’s agency, by collaborating with a strong and highly experienced policy team to develop recommendations and ethical guidelines for creating AI systems for children, engaging with relevant global policy audiences and forums, guided by a clear policy delivery roadmap. October 2024 2 Flexible working Occasional remote working within the UK may be possible.

Faculty of Philosophy The Oxford Philosophy Faculty has over 150 academic members, all of whom are undertaking teaching and/or research in Philosophy at Oxford. Of these, around 60 hold permanent posts within the Faculty or the colleges; many distinguished philosophers hold posts elsewhere in the University. Oxford thus contains the largest group of philosophers in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. It has a vigorous research culture, and performed outstandingly in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework, achieving the highest volume of world-leading (4* ranked) philosophy research of any unit in the country. Each year, many distinguished philosophers from around the world visit Oxford to give lectures and seminars. There are over fourteen hundred students studying Philosophy at undergraduate level, always in combination with at least one other subject, and around 150 graduate students, about half of whom are studying for the BPhil or the specialist MSt courses in Ancient Philosophy and Philosophy of Physics, and the rest for the DPhil. A list of current Faculty members and their research interests can be found on the Philosophy Faculty website at: October 2024 4 http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/faculty-members. Further information about the Faculty can be found on its website at: http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk. The Institute for Ethics in AI The Institute for Ethics in AI was announced in June 2019 and, starting in September 2025, will be housed in Oxford University's Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Institute responds to the pressing dual need for disciplinary rigour and multidisciplinary engagement in engaging with the important ethical questions thrown up by the development of Artificial Intelligence. The Institute is rooted in rigorous philosophical inquiry. However, it also reaches out across the University and beyond to select the questions to address, understand technological capabilities and constraints, and test proposed solutions. In so doing, it creates a flexible research platform that can engage successfully with the new and profoundly difficult ethical, metaphysical, and social challenges presented by the form, scale, and scope of emerging capabilities in AI. The Institute is also concerned with fostering the policy impact of research produced by its members and is in the process of making a major investment in a scheme that will significantly increase opportunities for policy impact. The Institute's inaugural Director is Professor John Tasioulas, and the Programme Directors heading two pioneering initiatives are Dr Caroline Green and Professor Philipp Koralus. Also on the team of researchers are Associate Professors Dr Carissa Veliz (Philosophy), Dr Katya Hertog (Oxford Internet Institute), and Professor Ignacio Cofone (Professor of Law and Regulation of AI). Postdoctoral Research Fellows are Dr Linda Eggert (Philosophy), Dr David Storrs-Fox (Philosophy), and Dr Thomas Mitchell (Philosophy). The Institute expects to make further appointments over the coming year. The Institute also benefits from the involvement of its Distinguished Senior Scientist, Sir Nigel Shadbolt, its Head of Technical Engagement, Professor Vince Conitzer, and its Head of Public Engagement, Dr Caroline Green, as well as an array of research associates at different levels of seniority, all of whom contribute to a vibrant cross-disciplinary community. The Institute is administratively located in the Faculty of Philosophy and builds upon the University's world-class capabilities in the Humanities to lead the study of the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and other new computing technologies. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is fundamental to the initiative, and the Institute draws upon the entire educational and research endeavour of Oxford University – including the Social Sciences, Medical Sciences, Mathematical, Physical, & Life Sciences – to deliver innovative, cutting-edge scholarships. It also develops significant opportunities for collaboration on these important issues with other distinguished research universities and public- and private-sector institutions worldwide. Its diverse array of activities includes a popular weekly lunchtime research seminar, regular colloquiums that are open to the public, a fortnightly work-in-progress seminar, an annual lecture, and an Oxford-Berlin Early Career colloquium, among others. For more information, see the Institute's website.
