Research Studentship in Computer and Information Ethics

Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering

Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility (CCSR)

PhD student bursary covering the full tuition cost for an EEA citizen for 36 months

The CCSR is the UK's leading research centre in computer ethics and among the leading ones in Europe and the world. The Centre organises the ETHICOMP conference series and edits two international journals: the Elsevier Journal Information, Communication, Ethics and Society and the International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction.

Despite increasing pressure to undertake ethics reviews there appear to be great variations in the quality of such reviews in technical disciplines. You will investigate the way in which ethical issues are considered in technical projects and how they are considered within the UK and elsewhere. The focus will be on research ethics procedures and standards, such as human research ethics committees.

You will be a member of the Information Society Doctoral Programme (ISDP) (http://www.ccsr.cse.dmu.ac.uk/ISDP/) and be able to profit from all resources available to the programme. You should be aware of discourses in computer ethics, information ethics, or technology ethics and have an interest in empirical research.
