Location: University of Notre Dame campus
Open Date: Jan 07, 2025
Deadline:

Description:The University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs invites applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar for Fall 2025. We seek talented young scholars with a demonstrated ability to do innovative and rigorous work related to the future of labor.

Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the impact of AI and digital technology on work, workers and inequality across the world; global and regional inequality in technological progress and its implications for human development and dignity; the intersection of demographic change, aging, technology, and labor; education, upskilling and retraining in the era of AI.

Successful candidates are expected to lead and collaborate on research with faculty at the Keough School and will be a member of the Future of Labor Lab led by Professor Yong Lee which studies labor issues related to major future shocks including technology, demographics, and climate change. At least half of the postdoctoral scholar's time will be committed to research. The anticipated start date of the appointment is August 1, 2025. This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of renewal.

The postdoctoral scholar will also design and teach one course. Competitive candidates for this postdoctoral appointment will have a scholarly track record with evidence of, or potential for, high-quality research related to the future of labor. Successful applications will clearly identify how their research relates to priority areas described above. We encourage candidates with or on track to receive a PhD in economics, business, and computer science to apply.

The appointment will be based in the Keough School, which promotes interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research on critical issues in global affairs, transformative educational programs, and partnerships for global engagement. The Keough School approaches global affairs and development through a focus on integrated human development, which is also central to the University of Notre Dame's mission. The successful candidate will also be appointed as an affiliated fellow of Notre Dame's McKenna Center for Human Development and Global Business, which focuses on how technology, global markets and corporations can align with the Sustainable Development Goals and contribute to addressing issues of poverty and inequality across the world.

The University of Notre Dame seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to our Catholic tradition, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives and ways of knowing and learning. The Keough School is committed to fostering a culture of diverse views and approaches to Global Affairs. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, research, or service has prepared them to contribute to our mission and commitment to diversity and excellence.
