Illinois Institute of Technology’s Center
for the Study of Ethics in the Professions (CSEP) invites applications for a
two-year research position beginning in Fall 2015. The position is for a
post-doctoral researcher or a Ph.D. student who has strong research interests
in philosophical and ethical issues in neuroscience. The Ph.D. student must
have finished his or her course work and have a Master’s degree or an
equivalent. He or she will work within the two-year research project
“Neuroethics – on the interplay between neuroscience and ethics” funded by the
Swiss Cogito Foundation. The research
project investigates philosophical and ethical implications of neuroscientific
research. It focuses on the question of how far neuroscientific research
results can serve as an adequate basis for arguments concerning moral judgment
and ethical theory. Given the interdisciplinary character of the project, we especially
welcome candidates with a research specialty both in philosophy/ethics and
neuroscience. The salary is $39,000 per calendar year plus benefits.
Please send a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation to ehildt@iit.edu . Inquiries may be directed to
