{"job":{"jobId":2498161,"fk_accountId":null,"fk_organizationId":553,"fk_adminAccountId":null,"title":"Postdoctoral researcher in Law / Legal Theory","description":"\n\nThe ERC-funded research project Agency in Law (LEGACY) at the Faculty of Law invites applications for the position of a postdoctoral researcher in Law for a three-year fixed term period, starting in September 2024 by the latest.\n\n\nLEGACY investigates the distinction between agents and non-agents in law. Only agents can decide about their affairs, enter contracts or be held responsible for their actions. Western law has since the 19th century relied on an understanding of agency that has developed in the liberal tradition of thought. According to this “Liberal Agency”, agents are highly rational, atomistic human individuals. Persons with cognitive disabilities, artificial intelligence systems, and nonhuman animals are therefore not agents because of their lack of rationality or humanity. Liberal Agency has recently come under increasing criticism and challenges. Many now argue that persons with severe cognitive disabilities, animals, and artificial intelligences should in fact be treated as agents. These individual challenges exemplify the increasing strain that Liberal Agency is under. LEGACY is premised on the notion that, in order to be viable in the 21st century, the legal understanding of agency is in need of a thorough reappraisal.\n\n\nLEGACY investigates three main questions: First, how did Liberal Agency become the dominant understanding of agency in law? Second, what challenges confront Liberal Agency today? And finally, what kind of a theory can best explain the evolving notion of agency in law?\n\n\nThe objectives of the project are to deliver:\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>a systematic understanding of the historical background and context of Liberal Agency, its spread in Western legal thought, and its challengers;</li>\n<li>an in-depth analysis of contemporary agency accounts that incorporates and conceptualizes the historical insights with a systematic understanding of the contemporary debates; and</li>\n<li>a theory of agency that provides an overall synthesis of the accounts and can explain, reconcile and/or solve the contemporary challenges besetting Liberal Agency.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\nThe project consists of five subprojects:\n\n\nSubproject 1: Historical background of Liberal Agency and its challengers Subproject 2: Animal agency Subproject 3: Individual human agency Subproject 4: Artificial and group agency (including AI agency) Subproject 5: General theory of legal agency  \n\n\nThe postdoctoral researcher will focus on objective (2) and on Subproject 3 or 4. Hence, they will be expected to contribute to at least one of the following topics: changing human agency in law, due to a changing understanding of agency (e.g. the support model of agency) and/or technologically enhanced agency (e.g. neuroscientific advancements, human-machine hybrids) AI agents the agency of human groups (group agency)  \n\n\nRequirements for the position and assessment of qualifications\n\n\nAccording to the Regulations of the University of Helsinki, an appointee to the position of postdoctoral researcher shall hold a relevant doctoral degree and have the ability to conduct independent scholarly work as well as the teaching skills necessary for the position. PhD diploma is to be acquired by the first day of employment. A PhD in Law is not a strict requirement, but an understanding of law (demonstrated e.g. through degrees or courses in law) is important. Further to this, knowledge of fields relevant for the applicant’s subproject is an asset. The appointee is expected to have the ability to conduct independent academic research and possess the teaching skills required for the position. The working language of the project is English. The period following the completion of doctoral degree must not exceed five years, excluding family leave and equivalent periods of absence. An appointee must be able to provide a clear contribution to the theme of the research project and to its general development, together with full-time researchers, visiting scholars, Ph.D. students, and students working as research assistants.\n\n\nTo fulfil the research requirements of the position, the appointeeis expected to live in Helsinki, be physically present on a regular basis and participate actively in the research and teaching activities of the research project. The appointee is expected to develop their own and the project’s common research agenda, and contribute to collective academic tasks such as teaching, seminars and joint academic papers. Postdoctoral researchers have a teaching load of 5%, corresponding roughly with a course of 20 hours contact teaching.\n\n\nWhat we offer\n\n\nThe salary for the position will be based on level 5 of the job requirement scheme for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component based on personal performance. The annual gross salary is €42,000 - €46,000.
