Job description |
Young and research intensive, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is ranked among the world’s top universities. The School of Humanities at NTU Singapore is committed to promoting first-rate research and teaching. With an impressive track record from our existing faculty and diverse avenues for funding, the School provides an ideal environment for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary research excellence. Students are given ample opportunities to develop strong critical thinking, research, and communication skills—skills which will enable them to make meaningful contributions to Singapore and beyond. Lecturer in Ethics The School of Humanities invites applications for a Lecturer position in the Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core for a course titled ‘Ethics and Civics in a Multicultural World’ at Nanyang Technological University. Ethics and Civics in a Multicultural World aims to equip students with the necessary philosophical foundations to understand theories of ethics and subsequently apply those theories to real-life scenarios and issues. It also aims to enable students to understand and critically assess the civic institutions that structure their local and global communities. Topics include human rights, democracy, freedom of speech, inequality, abortion, as well as many others. The rights and duties of citizenship shall be a unifying theme. Students will think through assumptions they hold on all of these matters. They will be provided with the tools to understand conflicting perspectives on these important issues. There will be a substantial amount of time devoted toward understanding Singapore’s own institutions and ideologies, which are of course products specific to the country’s own unique historical and geo-political circumstances. Responsibilities The syllabus, including content and assignments, for Ethics and Civics in a Multicultural World is fixed. So the hired Lecturer will have the following responsibilities:
