The Algorithmic Justice for Refugees Research Network (AJRRN) is funding four graduate-led research projects of $10,000 CAD each. We would be grateful if you would share this call with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who may be interested. The projects (one award each):
1. Global Majority Data in Global North Border Control (preference for applicants from the Global Majority) 2. Identifying Border Technology and Vendors in Canada 3. Scoping Rights-Enhancing Technologies 4. LLM Bias Benchmark for Refugees and Migrants
Who can apply: current graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows without tenure-stream appointments, in Canada or abroad, in law, computer science, software engineering, data science or a related field. Applicants find their own supervisor; any full-time university faculty member qualifies. What we fund: each project produces an open access journal article, with the student as lead author. Funding is paid in three tranches tied to contract signing, a working paper (target: 6 months), and journal acceptance (target: 12 months). How to apply: everything is completed directly in the online form, with no uploads: a proposal (the equivalent of 1 page), an initial bibliography (the equivalent of 1 page), a CV (the equivalent of 2 pages maximum), and the supervisor's confirmation of support.
