CBS 2022 PhD position on Professional Networks and Algorithmic Work

CBS invites applicants for a PhD position on Professional Networks and Algorithmic Work to investigate what agents and technologies are required for new green accounting standards to development in a way that enrolls firms and governments to combat climate breakdown. We invite PhD proposals that focus on the relationship between professional and expert networks, algorithmic work, and change to finance, taxation, insurance, and similar issue-areas. This post is funded by the ‘ADD – Algoritmer, Data & Demokrati’ project funded by the Velux and Villum Foundations. This project is led by Professor Nørholm Sine Just at Roskilde University and the co-PI at CBS is Professor Leonard Seabrooke in the Department of Organization. Seabrooke is responsible for the work package on Financial Transparency that is based in the Department of Organization and will mentor the PhD Fellow. The ADD Financial Transparency project is concerned with how forms of professional diagnosis, inference, and treatment in the financial sector, including taxation and insurance, are changing as professionals work more with algorithms. The project is one of issue-areas being investigated in the ADD consortium, the others include cybersecurity and private life, predictive algorithms in public administration, health policy, and innovation.
