About this position
Harvard University's Embedded EthiCS Postdoctoral Fellowship is based in the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics and contributes to a collaborative, multidisciplinary program focused on responsible computing.
Embedded EthiCS integrates ethics teaching directly into the computer science curriculum by creating and teaching short ethics modules within courses across the CS curriculum. Fellows will work at the intersection of philosophy, computer science, technology and society, and ethics education.
Postdoctoral fellows will divide their work between Embedded EthiCS projects and independent research. Their program responsibilities include teaching ethics modules, participating in a Teaching Lab that develops new modules, coaching less experienced Fellows or Teaching Assistants, advising an undergraduate senior thesis related to their expertise, and taking part in engagement activities with Harvard programs and organizations in the Boston area.
Fellows may also serve as liaisons with groups developing computing ethics education programs internationally and may be invited to teach a Harvard class. They will be supervised by the Embedded EthiCS Program Director and encouraged to work with a faculty research advisor in Harvard's Department of Philosophy and participate in department activities.
The research environment includes connections with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights, and the Center for Human-driven AI Research and Methods. The program also partners with Northeastern University's Ethics Institute and supports collaboration between philosophers, computer scientists, and other researchers addressing the social impact of technology.
Funding details
The fellowship salary is $84,000. The initial appointment is for one year from July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028, with possible annual renewal for up to two additional years, contingent on satisfactory performance, continued funding, program needs, and required approvals.
What's required
Applicants must have completed all requirements for a doctorate in Philosophy or a related discipline by June 30, 2027. Candidates must demonstrate competence to teach ethics or another normative subfield such as political theory or social epistemology, significant teaching experience ideally including cross-disciplinary research or teaching, enthusiasm for developing ethics pedagogy, and willingness to work with computer scientists and engage with technical material. Extensive computer science experience is not required. Candidates with a dual background in philosophy and computing are especially encouraged to apply. New Fellows without a background in philosophy of computing who can relocate to Boston before the start date may be eligible for Northeastern University's summer training program, subject to acceptance and availability.
