Two Faculty Positions in History and Philosophy of Science, Technion, Israel

The new research group for history and philosophy of science and engineering in the department of Humanities and Arts at Technion, Israel Institute of Technology is seeking applications from outstanding candidates for two tenure-track positions starting from October 2021.

The program fosters research projects that link the humanities with the sciences, engineering, and technology; it also seeks to promote academic work related to practical involvement.

We are seeking to fill one position in the history and philosophy of science, engineering, and technology, and another position with an emphasis on ethical and other consequences of technological developments. As we plan on implementing an embedded ethics approach, experience and interest in developing such a program would be very helpful.

Candidates should have a PhD in one of the relevant disciplines and a promising record of publications. Training in one of the sciences is a significant plus, and interest in developing joint projects with scientists and engineers is highly desirable. The rank is open but we have a slight preference for candidates who are in their early or mid-career stage.

Interested candidates should send a CV, writing sample, and research project, and should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent, to Lisa Aisman at li...@technion.ac.il and to Ohad Nachtomy at ohadna...@technion.ac.il by March 1, 2021.

For inquiries, please contact Ohad Nachtomy at ohadna...@technion.ac.il.
