Post Doctoral Appointee; Technology Governance

Post Doctoral Appointee (Technology Governance) Position Summary

For fifty years the Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University has been an interdisciplinary melting pot welcoming researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to tackle some of the hardest problems we face, including climate change, polarization, and resolving conflict over scarce resources. The tools, methodologies, and frameworks developed and deployed to better understand and address these challenges have helped shape academic and policy discourse across a range of fields.

The Ostrom Workshop is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral research position. This position is intended to provide mentored research training and experience for a post‑doc fellow whose interests are aligned with the field of Technology Governance, which could include artificial intelligence (AI) governance, Big Data, cybersecurity, data governance, knowledge commons, critical infrastructure protection, and smart cities. The post‑doc fellow will work under the mentorship of core faculty at the Ostrom Workshop, including Professors Angie Raymond, Scott Shackelford, and Gustavo Torrens.

This postdoctoral appointment will be for one year with an option to renew for one additional year. The expected start date is September 2026 but is negotiable.
