| Position Description | The Harvard Program for Embedded EthiCS invites applications for several postdoctoral fellowships based in the Philosophy Department beginning July 1, 2023, pending funding and program needs. The fellowships will be two years with the second year contingent on a satisfactory review during the first year. The postdoctoral fellows will be expected to spend 50% of their time working with the Embedded EthiCS program and 50% of their time on their own independent research. Harvard’s Embedded EthiCS is a collaborative pedagogical program that embeds the teaching of ethics directly into the computer science curriculum by creating and teaching ethics modules for courses in the standard computer science curriculum. For details about this exciting program, please see our website . The postdoctoral fellows will have responsibility for (a) teaching in the program, (b) participating in a Teaching Lab that develops ethics modules, © coaching Teaching Assistants, (d) advising an undergraduate senior thesis in this area, and (e) serving as liaison with other developing Embedded EthiCS teams around the globe. The fellows will have a faculty advisor. Postdoctoral fellows in this program are encouraged to participate in the many efforts at Harvard to address the social impact of technology through its ties with Harvard’s Center for Research in Computation and Society; Harvard’s Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics; and Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. We seek applicants who are enthusiastic about working with computer scientists to develop ethics modules for their courses. They need not have computer science experience themselves. They must demonstrate competence to teach ethics, but ethics need not be their area of specialization. Successful candidates will have significant teaching experience, some including experience with cross-disciplinary research or teaching, and enthusiasm about developing ethics pedagogy. Applicants must have completed all the requirements for a doctorate in Philosophy or related discipline by June 30, 2023. The term of the fellowship is July 1, 2023-June 30, 2025, pending a successful review at the end of the first year. We strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented groups, as well as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research and teaching missions. Salary is extremely competitive. |
