Mass data collection and surveillance are expanding the capabilities of governments and industry to monitor the activities of citizens and customers, stretching the limits of privacy and data protection. Big data broadens the horizon of computational capabilities further, enabling profiling-based decision-making on citizens and customers. Developments in robotics, neuro-technologies and the Internet of Things are further expanding possibilities for massive data processing. Thus, technologies are having a profound impact on human rights, such as the rights to privacy and data protection, freedom of expression, non-discrimination, freedom of thought, and due process. Legislators at the various levels struggle with finding a balance between the different interests. Human rights are safeguarded in the EU Charter of fundamental rights and freedoms, the European Convention on Human Rights and the constitutions of European Member States. The jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union is interpreting and expanding the meaning and scope of human rights in order to accommodate for technological developments.
There is an urgent need for comprehensive legal research and education on human rights that are challenged by, or reshaped through, technological developments. In order to confront the promises and perils that technological innovations bring, rights and legal principles that are fundamental to the European legal tradition, need to be explored.
Job description
The broad mission of the candidate for the Full Professorship position ‘Technology Law and Human Rights’ will be to identify and evaluate major challenges to human rights posed by technologies, and to help shape pathways for developing a robust legal framework that is able to protect human rights, while fostering innovation and technological development. Within this broad mission, a particular challenge to be addressed, in line with Tilburg’s focal themes of data science and public governance, shall be the regulation of (state) surveillance.
