About this position

This postdoc sits in the project Techno-Moral Experience and the Foundations of Design for Values (TechnoMoralXP) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The project asks how morally significant experiences can help ground better design decisions when technologies increasingly shape privacy, justice, sustainability, and other values in society.

The appointed researcher will lead the project’s philosophical foundations as WP1 postdoc. Working closely with Dr James Hutton and Prof. Ibo van de Poel, the postdoc will develop a new conceptualisation of techno-moral experiences, clarify how they relate to neighbouring concepts, and examine what epistemic role such experiences can play in justifying design decisions. A further part of the work is to assess the limits of these experiences and connect the philosophical analysis to a practical toolkit being developed in the project’s second work package.

The opening is embedded in TU Delft’s Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management, a research environment that combines engineering, social sciences, and the humanities to address complex socio-technical challenges. The project is positioned within one of the university’s strongest groups in the ethics of technology and aims to contribute to a new research frontier linking moral epistemology, technology ethics, and design.

The successful candidate will publish in leading ethics and technology-ethics journals and join an international team working at the interface of philosophy and design.
