The position is well suited for a scholar interested in the communicative, political, and societal implications of generative AI technologies, particularly large language models (LLMs). The successful candidate will contribute to a research programme investigating how AI-generated content and conversational systems influence information seeking, attention allocation, and civic engagement.

Depending on the fellow's interests, the work may include AI auditing and evaluation, computational and multimodal analyses, experiments, surveys, and mixed methods research.
