About this position
FernUniversität in Hagen is recruiting a full-time Research Associate for the Future Center AI NRW, a project supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in North Rhine-Westphalia with the practical implementation of artificial intelligence and digitalization.
The research focuses on the future of work, AI, regional transformation, digitalization, and labor-market change. The successful candidate will analyze regional labor-market, industrial, and transformation developments; identify companies’ needs for skills, training, and support; and research regional funding, consulting, and qualification opportunities.
