In this function, you are researcher for 50% and Ethics Adviser for the remaining 50%. The function of Ethics Adviser is associated with University of Twente center for information technology research, CTIT, and concerns ethical advice regarding research on ICT. The Ethics Adviser works alongside CTIT researchers to help them incorporate value analyses within their work. This includes two specific tasks. First, you are responsible for writing ethics sections of European and other grant proposals in the area of ICT. Second, you collaborate on a variety of ICT research projects within CTIT, with the role of stimulating reflection of the researchers and designers as to the reciprocal and dynamic relationship between the development of ICT systems and societal/cultural values (the ethical dimensions of their work). These activities are meant to show the utility of ethics throughout the research and design process, taken as broad reflection on the quality of the impact of ICT systems. An additional goal is to enlarge the impact of ICT research on the societal challenges of our times by considering them from the inception of research activity.
