Call for 2025-2027 DTD Lab Postdoctoral Fellows

The Karsh Institute of Democracy at the University of Virginia (UVA)<https://karshinstitute.virginia.edu/> invites applications for 2-year postdoctoral fellowships at the Digital Technology for Democracy Lab. The fellowships will begin in August of 2025 and run through August 2027. We are building a transdisciplinary cohort of fellows who will play a key role in animating this pan-university project spanning across all thirteen UVA schools<https://www.virginia.edu/schools>.

Our understandings of democracy and technology, and their intersections, are broad and interdisciplinary. We expect candidates to be creative in their approaches and, at the same time, to clearly articulate their personal understanding of technology and democracy in their project proposal. A new cohort of 6 fellows to join our existing cohort.

We welcome a wide range of disciplines, methods, and approaches as well as forms of scholarly output, including but not limited to:

  *   Art, Drama Music
  *   Architecture and Urban Planning
  *   Business, Commerce, Innovation
  *   Computer Science, Data Science, Information Science
  *   Education
  *   Engineering
  *   Environmental Sciences & Geography
  *   Health Sciences
  *   Humanities
  *   Law and Public Policy
  *   Social Sciences


We are particularly interested in transdisciplinary research that address key topics at the intersection of digital technology and democracy and are eager to bring in a cohort addressing these issues at global, regional, and local levels. We seek a broad range of viewpoints, perspectives, and experiences and particularly encourage applicants from under-represented groups to apply. We welcome applications from all over the world. The Lab will work through the UVA International Studies Office to sponsor visas as needed.
