The Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, invites applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-accruing position in Philosophy at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning August 16, 2021. Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in Philosophy by that effective date. The salary is competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience, and includes a full benefits package. The area of specialization is Ethics (Normative or Applied) or Social and Political Philosophy with a focus on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Candidates should have a research agenda in the ethics of data science and machine learning with the potential for collaboration with other fields in which the use or development of AI may be significant – including not only computer science and/or statistics but possibly also such fields as African-American studies, biology, criminology, medicine, political science, sociology, sociology, or women's studies. The successful candidate will have expertise in analyzing ethical and social issues arising from algorithmic modelling and decision-making. The successful candidate will be expected to (1) maintain an active research agenda, (2) teach four courses per academic year at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and (3) provide service to the department, the university, and the profession. This search is part of a campus wide effort by the University of Florida to expand the role of AI in higher education and research (https://ai.ufl.edu). The University is home to HiPerGator, one of the most powerful high-performance computers at a US public university (www.rc.ufl.edu/services/hipergator/). The Department of Philosophy is centrally involved in research and curricular initiatives relating to this effort. Additional information about the department, its current faculty, and programs may be found at http://phil.ufl.edu/ The department is genuinely committed to creating an environment that affirms diversity across a variety of dimensions, including ability, class, ethnicity/race, gender identity and expression. We particularly welcome applicants who can contribute to such an environment through their scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and professional service. |
