Responsibilities will include building new collaborations with other departments; reconfiguring existing degree programs and courses, and exploring new degrees; advising undergraduates; planning and coordinating bioethics events; participating in grant writing and collaborative research; and overseeing the public face of the program, including its website and social media. Teaching responsibilities will be one course per semester, along with facilitating and attending the weekly bioethics colloquium. Candidates for the position should hold a doctoral or professional degree in a field related to bioethics. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank of Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor, and is expected to maintain an active research profile in bioethics. The initial appointment is for three years with annual review of performance and the opportunity for renewal by mutual agreement.
