'The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk' (University of Cambridge; http://cser.org) is recruiting for postdoctoral researchers to work on the study of extreme risks arising from technological advances. One of our early projects is on responsible innovation and extreme technological risks: asking what can be done to encourage safe progress and societal responsibility, without discouraging innovation, within the communities developing technologies with transformative potential. We also aim to work on horizon-scanning and foresight; and ethics and evaluation of extreme technological risks.

However, we also have the flexibility to hire one or more postdoctoral researchers to work on additional projects relevant to CSER's broad aims, which include policy and governance challenges associated with risky technologies, impacts and safety in artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, biosecurity, extreme tail climate change, geoengineering, and catastrophic biodiversity loss.

We welcome proposals from a range of fields. Deadline: April 24th http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/6554/"
