About this position
Erasmus School of Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for work at the intersection of philosophy of technology, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and the social and ethical analysis of digital twins. The position is embedded in the European project Transformative Horizons for Resilient Innovation in Virtualized Environments and is led by Prof. Vincent Blok and Dr. Rebecca Moody.
The successful candidate will conduct original philosophical and interdisciplinary research in an ELSA (Ethical, Legal, Social Aspects) social laboratory setting. The project focuses on how digital twins can be studied, assessed, and redesigned in ways that are socially responsible, ethically grounded, and inclusive. This is a strong fit for researchers interested in responsible innovation, digital technologies, public-facing scholarship, and the ethical governance of emerging systems.
The role includes publishing research, contributing to international and societal networks, co-organising conferences and workshops, presenting findings at academic and public events, and contributing to teaching and thesis supervision with an inclusive, student-centered approach. The project environment emphasises collaboration, interdisciplinarity, respectful teamwork, and broader societal relevance alongside academic quality.
This is a postdoctoral position rather than a PhD studentship. The posting does not specify scholarship funding details, salary, or stipend in the text provided. The application deadline is 2026-11-23, and applications are submitted through AcademicTransfer.
