The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) delivers world-class research, learning and teaching that transforms the knowledge, action and leadership needed for more equitable and sustainable development globally.

The Digital and Technology Cluster at IDS looks at development in the digitised world, exploring how digital technologies are reconfiguring social relations and geopolitical realities. Key areas of current cluster research include gender and digital inclusion, digital citizenship, digital governance, digital authoritarianism, artificial intelligence, digital rights, and governance of state-business relations.

This is an exciting and important time for the Digital Cluster at IDS and we need to expand to meet the potential. Our team is particularly interested in expanding its research on digital rights, governance and authoritarianism, as well as artificial intelligence, information security, and cybersecurity in international development and humanitarian practice.

We are seeking to recruit a Research Fellow to join our team and be responsible for directly producing high quality research, exhibiting an approach of ‘engaged excellence’, and through this work also contribute to the teaching and training, advisory and/or influencing activities of the Institute.

Applicants will have a PhD (or exceptionally, equivalent research experience) in information systems, informatics, computer science or related fields; all within the domain of digital development (ICT4D), alongside an expertise in one or more of the following areas: digital rights, digital governance, digital authoritarianism, artificial intelligence (especially social applications but technical knowledge is also beneficial), information security, and cybersecurity within international development and humanitarian contexts. An exceptional research record and evidence of publishing is essential as is demonstrated success in obtaining grants, research awards and consultancies.
