About this position

The Faculty of Law and Administration at Jagiellonian University in Kraków invites applications for an Assistant Professor (Postdoc) in the Department of Criminal Law within the ERC-funded project ROBOCRIM – Philosophical Foundations of Criminal Law in the Age of Robots.

The project examines how criminal law should evolve in response to the growing role of robots in society, with particular attention to the legal status of robots, moral responsibility, and whether existing legal frameworks remain adequate in technologically changing contexts.

This is a full-time, temporary employment contract for 36 months, with an expected start date of 1 January 2027. The position is funded through Horizon Europe / ERC.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent, with backgrounds in philosophy, law, psychology, or related disciplines. The post specifically values experience in experimental philosophy and/or experimental jurisprudence, publications in strong academic journals, and research interests connected to criminal law philosophy, technology ethics, artificial intelligence, and legal liability.

Very good English is required, with at least B2 level competence for reading scientific literature and communicating with research partners. Experience in grant work, collaboration, or other project-based research activity is also desirable.

The post offers stable university employment, access to research infrastructure, interdisciplinary academic collaboration, professional development opportunities, and standard staff benefits. Applications are submitted by email to [email protected] with the subject line Postdoc Robocrim. The deadline is 9 October 2026 at 03:55 (Europe/Warsaw).
