Total 378 Science / R&D / Research job vacancies in Bexhill-On-Sea, East Sussex, TN39 4TT

The Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) cluster at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) seeks applicants for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position specialising in the philosophy of science and technology. Appointments will be made on an initial three-year contract with the possibility of renewal.

We are particularly interested in applicants who can play an instrumental role in addressing questions relating to ethics in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies—both through teaching students who are pursuing engineering, computer science, and architecture majors and through interdisciplinary research collaborations with engineering, design, and computer science faculty. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a humanities-related discipline, such as philosophy or digital humanities, and have demonstrated research and teaching expertise in their field.

Besides cultivating a strong research portfolio, the successful candidate will be required to teach our undergraduate humanities core course and new electives in the candidate’s area of specialisation. Candidates who can contribute to our cluster’s digital humanities minor programme will also be viewed favourably. Other duties include working with faculty to contribute to interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives, such as mentoring students as they work on their capstone projects or fostering collaborations with industry or public service sectors.

Application Details

SUTD offers degrees in engineering, architecture, and design with a strong emphasis on creating a better world by design and strives to nurture culturally competent innovators, technologists, designers, and entrepreneurs. Its key interdisciplinary areas in research and teaching are AI, aviation, cities, and healthcare. The HASS cluster plays a pivotal and critical role in the university’s commitment to world-class teaching and research excellence.

The current HASS faculty brings core expertise in literature, history, philosophy, theater, film studies, anthropology, communication, psychology, sociology, business, economics, and urban studies. This unique combination of interdisciplinary faculty has given rise to thought-provoking research and teaching that contribute significantly to HASS disciplines, as well as to interdisciplinary projects with other departments at SUTD, such as Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD), Design and Artificial Intelligence (DAI), Engineering Product Development (EPD), Engineering Systems and Design (ESD), and Information Systems Technology and Design (ISTD). For more information, please visit the following websites: https://www.sutd.edu.sg/ and https://hass.sutd.edu.sg/

We especially seek creative scholars with the potential to develop new directions in humanities teaching and research and who are interested in joining an interdisciplinary humanities, arts, and social science department at an engineering and design university.

Candidates should submit the following materials to hassjobs@sutd.edu.sg:

1. A cover letter.

2. A curriculum vitae.

3. A statement of current and future research plans.

4. A statement of teaching experience and philosophy.

5. A 500-word description and selected bibliography of up to ten readings for two courses you may wish to offer.

6. Two representative publications (e.g., articles, book or dissertation chapters, or works in progress).

7. Names, affiliations, and email addresses of three referees. (Please note that candidates who advance to the interview stage will be asked to submit two letters of recommendation. Please have your recommenders ready to send their letters via email or Interfolio.)

Full consideration will be given to applications received by 29 November 2024. Interviews will likely take place at the end of January/early February 2025.
