0.5 FTE, 12 Month, Fixed-term, Part-time Post

 

 

The Cyber Social Research Lab in the Department of Sociology & Criminology at University College Cork invites applications for a Research Assistant with the Irish Research Council funded project “CyberSocial: Ethnography of Smart City”. The position is part-time for 1 year with potential for longer.  The position calls for on-campus attendance, fieldwork and administrative duties.

 

The research project “CyberSocial” seeks to overcome current problems within urban digital transformation for addressing human values and technological normativity as cities globally incorporate new technologies into our homes, communities and city fabrics. While technology has the proven capacity to improve social and individual life, we must still answer the challenge of negative technological effects on the social. Our project seeks to determine patterns in cyber-social transformation so that we might mitigate future problems at the point of infusion. By cyber-social we simply mean the integration of digital and cyber technologies with social life.

 

Post Duration: 12 months
