 Job Description

The School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech invites applications for a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship, starting August 1, 2022.

This is a two-year, non-renewable fellowship which includes research, service, and a 2/2 teaching assignment primarily in courses in practical ethics, which may include engineering ethics, environmental ethics, and/or science, technology and human values. It is a 10-month appointment (August-May), with the possibility of summer teaching or research.

In addition to full faculty benefits, including health insurance, retirement, and research support, postdoctoral teaching fellows receive preparation in and support for further development of ethics pedagogy. Fellows also benefit from other support activities and services, including job market support for both academic and nonacademic positions in conjunction with other postdoctoral fellows in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, of which the School of Public Policy is a unit.

For this position, we are particularly interested in qualified applicants with research and/or teaching expertise related to ethics pedagogy, moral cognition, educational assessment, and/or interdisciplinarity.

Required Qualifications

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. conferred by August 1, 2022, in philosophy or a related field, with a specialization or significant concentration in some area of practical ethics, philosophy of technology, or science, technology and society (STS). The Ph.D. must have been conferred within the last five years. Candidates should have university-level experience teaching courses in practical ethics or related topics.

About us

The School of Public Policy works to define and shape the discourse around global public policies. Our research and curriculum focus on understanding the global impact of science, technology and innovation on society, and nurture transdisciplinary leaders who can analyze and make ethically-informed decisions in the public interest. Recognizing the vital diversity of perspectives in a culturally- and technologically-evolving society, we endeavor to make a positive impact on the most challenging human issues of our time.

The postdoctoral teaching fellow will also be affiliated with the Ethics, Technology, and Human Interaction Center (ETHICx), with the opportunity to participate in and contribute to Center activities. The vision of ETHICx includes anticipating and understanding the consequences of technological innovations, and framing ethical concerns such as fairness, accountability, and transparency in technology-related research, practice, and education.

Situated in the diverse and culturally vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia Tech is ranked as a top-ten public university and stands as a hub for innovative, interdisciplinary research and teaching.
