Interested in how GenAI (e.g., LLMs) is transforming knowledge work and professions? Apply for a PhD at the KIN Center for Digital Innovation, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Jouw functie
GenAI is rapidly changing work, and predictions about job losses have reached newspaper headlines. Current debates on GenAI and work are typically framed around its consequences for jobs and tasks, though without empirically grounded research into both GenAI’s development and the implications of its use for organizations and professions. GenAI models that are currently being developed and rolled out in organizations are crucially different from prior AI systems, bringing about novel risks for organizations, knowledge work, interactions and collaboration.
Through ethnographic field studies we will reveal how GenAI reconfigures knowledge work practices, interactions and relationships, as well as how GenAI reshapes organizational structures. The project will contribute to theories of technology’s role in knowledge work, professions and expertise, and organizational change.

Researchers at KIN regularly publish and hold editorial positions in leading journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, or Management Information Systems Quarterly. In recent years, PhD candidates of KIN were hired as assistant professors at leading European business schools (e.g., University of Cambridge, Stockholm School of Economics, Warwick Business School, Rotterdam School of Management, London School of Economics).
