Hi everyone,

Wake Forest University, and more specifically Program for Leadership and
Character under Michael Lamb ([log in to unmask]), is hiring for two
postdoctoral positions in 2020/2021 that might be of interest to people on
this list. Applications for both positions are being reviewed immediately.
The first position is probably the best fit for most POLMETH/VIM
subscribers:

The Postdoctoral Fellow will teach 2-3 three-hour courses over two
semesters on the ethics involved in computer science, technology, and/or
data/information, create new teaching resources and syllabi for faculty,
and contribute to ongoing research on leadership and character within the
university context. The Postdoctoral Fellow will benefit from course
development workshops and will receive mentoring from faculty in the
Program for Leadership and Character and Department of Computer Science.
They will also have access to research and travel funds and an opportunity
to work with a senior research scholar within the Program for Leadership
and Character to assess the impact of their courses and potentially publish
relevant scholarly research. The one-year fellowship is funded by a grant
from the Lilly Endowment and is open to candidates from all related fields,
but applications are especially encouraged from scholars in computer
science, data science, philosophy, religious studies, science and
technology studies, or sociology who specialize in ethics and/or have
interest in working across disciplines to pursue ethics-related teaching
and research.

There is also an engineering-oriented fellowship that might appeal to a few
POLMETH/VIM subscribers:

The Department of Engineering at Wake Forest University in collaboration
with the Program for Leadership and Character seek a creative and dynamic
scholar with a research background in virtue ethics, character education,
and/or character assessment to serve as a Postdoctoral Fellow. The two-year
position is funded by a grant from the Kern Family Foundation to support
the development and assessment of character interventions in the context of
the undergraduate engineering program. The successful candidate will
collaborate directly with engineering faculty, an engineering postdoctoral
fellow, and graduate student research assistants to design and coordinate
character interventions, assist with course development workshops, conduct
empirical studies to assess the efficacy of these pedagogical
interventions, and prepare manuscripts for publication. The successful
candidate will diversify our team and will provide significant educational
contributions in support of our students’ development as engineers. We seek
a colleague who is excited about helping us build a new program that
embodies the values of empowerment, integrity, inclusion, compassion,
growth, and joy in every layer of our fabric (i.e., team interactions and
department culture, curriculum development, classroom environment, space
design, etc.). Further information is available at
college.wfu.edu/engineering/. We are particularly interested in
philosophers, social scientists, education scholars, or scholars in other
related fields who have a strong conceptual understanding of virtue and
character and a desire to design interventions that cultivate virtue in
undergraduates.

Contact Michael Lamb ([log in to unmask]) if you have any questions about the
positions!
