Postdoctoral researcher position on algorithmic fairness funded by Horizon Europe through project FINDHR

As part of the Horizon Europe project FINDHR (Fairness and Intersectional Non-Discrimination in Human Recommendation), we offer a postdoctoral research position at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. FINDHR is an interdisciplinary project to fight discrimination in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The project addresses primarily discrimination risks in algorithmic hiring: the usage of AI tools for sourcing and assessment of job candidates. Most of the tasks of the researcher will involve the development of algorithms, benchmarking datasets, and demonstrators, as well as contributions to research led by social scientists, legal scholars, and advocacy organization representatives.
