København Ø

The Faculty of Law (LAW) and the Department of Computer Science (DIKU), University of Copenhagen, is seeking applications for a position as postdoc. The position is part of the research project “DATA4ALL” and is available from 1 September 2020, for a duration of 36 months. Start date is negotiable.

About the DATA4ALL project
Despite decades of legal harmonization, the chance of receiving asylum for people from the same country still varies significantly across Europe and in the Nordics. The DATA4ALL project will leverage data science to understand outcome variations in asylum decisions across countries – a problem central to both migration law research and wider debates related to international cooperation in the area of asylum and refugees. The project will compare large-scale decision data and case file transcripts from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and use natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, machine learning, and process mining to unpack and understand what shapes outcome variations. The project further draws on critical data studies to engage decision-makers themselves, raising question to the data and promote data literacy and ethics among both scholars and practitioners. As such, DATA4ALL will help showcase the wider potential of integration data science and migration law.

The postdoc employed as part of the DATA4ALL project will perform a central role in the larger research team, which includes senior researchers from both LAW and DIKU as well as two PhDs specifically dedicated to the project. The postdoc will define her or his own ideas and techniques to solve the research. The postdoc is expected to focus on the technical and methodological data science aspects of the project. The postdoc will be enabled to advance the field of data science by applying it to the largely unexplored domain of immigration law, and by developing novel, generally applicable, methodologies and algorithms.

As part of an interdisciplinary team, the postdoc will work independently but in dialogue with researchers trained in law, computer science and sociology. The candidate will share her/his time between DIKU and LAW and will be expected to teach relevant courses at

The ideal candidate must hold a relevant academic degree and possess the appropriate theoretical and methodological tools to carry out the research proposed as part of the application.

Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the research areas and education programmes at both institutions by visiting the LAW and DIKU websites: www.jura.ku.dk and di.ku.dk/english/.

Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor WSR Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen (LAW), [email protected] or Tenure-track Assistant Professor Tijs Slaats (DIKU), [email protected].
