The Oxford Internet Institute – founded in 2001 - is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet.
 
We have an exciting opportunity based at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford for a part-time Research Assistant, fixed term for 2 years, starting immediately.
 
The successful candidate will work with Dr Scott A. Hale, the Oxford-based co-PI of the Digital Good Network, an interdisciplinary, social science-led research network centred on the urgent question of what a good digital society should look like and how we get there.
 
As part of the Digital Good Network, you will join a growing community of early career postdoctoral researchers who work across network projects. You'll have opportunities to get involved in wider network activities, including training, summer schools and funding application reviewing. You will be based at the Oxford Internet Institute in Oxford, UK but you may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working within the UK with your line manager.
 
You will work closely with Dr Hale and collaborators focused on equitable access to quality information online. This project, in particular, seeks to understand the digital good people want when
using generative AI on private messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. 
 
You will be responsible for conducting surveys with people using AI chatbots on messaging apps, leading qualitative interviews, and prototyping and evaluating new approaches to AI chatbots on messaging apps.
 
You will have a Bachelor’s degree with qualitative experience conducting academic research and performing qualitative analysis and surveys. You will also have enough Python experience to be able to run and tweak open-source code. More advanced Python skills and experience with LLMs is desirable but not essential.
 
If you would like to discuss this role, please contact Dr Scott A Hale via scott.hale@oii.ox.ac.uk including “[RA]” at the start of the subject line. Further details are found in the Job Description provided. 
 
You will be required to upload a supporting statement, setting out how you meet the selection criteria, curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of three referees as part of your online application.
