*Post Doctoral Associate - Empirical Approaches to Legal Interpretation*

The Georgetown Initiative on Technology and Society is seeking a
Postdoctoral Fritz Research Fellow to conduct research in Washington, DC in
the emerging area of empirical approaches to legal interpretation (see
https://solid-symposium.github.io/2025/ for examples of interdisciplinary
research in this space). We seek candidates with a Ph.D. in Linguistics,
Computer Science, Cognitive Science, or a related field who bring expertise
in linguistic and/or computational methodologies that can apply to the
study of legal interpretation. The postdoc will lead collaborative research
initiatives with deliverables such as datasets, software, scholarly
publications and public-facing contributions. The position will be housed
in the research group of Prof. Nathan Schneider under the Departments of
Computer Science and Linguistics, with additional mentorship by Prof. Kevin
Tobia (GU Law Center); the fellow will be an active member of the
intellectual life of the lab, the Tech and Society community, and the
broader university. Synergistic professional development opportunities may
include co-mentorship of research students in the lab and co-development of
grant proposals.

Along with mentored research, this fellow will join a cohort of Fritz
Family Fellows ranging from undergraduate students through postdoctoral
fellows. Each fellow will be working on a different project co-designed and
mentored by faculty from at least two different parts of the campus.
Ultimately, the Fritz Family Fellowship aims to cultivate the next
generation of leaders with expertise in the social impacts of technology,
and build a network of public interest technologists who learn from and
support each other’s work.
