We welcome expressions of interest to join in developing the philosophy-to-code pipeline at HAI Lab full time, both to support existing projects and to propose new projects in the spirit of our mission. 

We periodically publish submission deadlines for expressions of interest for a given period. The next submission deadline will be published shortly. We are generally able to consider members to join for periods ranging from 90 days to a year or more. We onboard new members throughout the year. Depending on the nature of the proposed project, hybrid/remote arrangements are possible.

HAI Lab will consider academics, researchers, and technologists, and in some cases people from other fields including the arts, strictly on the basis of demonstrated skill, track record, and fit with the HAI Lab research mission. We look for outstanding individuals with world-class potential, but we do not require a graduate degree. For all these categories of potential members, the Cosmos Institute has kindly agreed to consider candidates for a Cosmos Fellowship, following an application calendar that matches our deadlines for expressions of interest. Applications for a Cosmos Fellowship have to be made separately with the Cosmos Institute. Prospective Post-doctoral researchers are additionally encouraged to apply for funding from funding bodies including UKRI and the British Academy and similar funding bodies.

HAI Lab will also consider more informal requests for part-time collaboration from members of other units in the University of Oxford, who should email aiethics-hailab@philosophy.ox.ac.uk

HAI Lab does not consider applications for graduate study directly. Students accepted into any graduate program in the University of Oxford may submit an expression of interest at any time to collaborate on projects, should their home departments permit them to do so.

When available, we periodically advertise short-term opportunities for enrolled Oxford undergraduate and graduate students here, including research assistant roles and opportunities for small grants to support independent human-centered AI projects. Such opportunities will be announced here when available.
