The Philosophy Department at the United Arab Emirates University invites qualified candidates to apply for a fulltime faculty position in philosophy to begin in the Fall Semester 2015 (August start). Rank, AOS and OAC are OPEN. The department will regard favourably applicants who have experience teaching critical thinking and applied ethics in general education programs and whose research profiles complement those of current faculty members. Candidates must have a strong commitment to teaching excellence, a demonstrable research capability that will enable the candidate to develop and sustain a research program, publish research findings in refereed journals or equivalent, and actively engage in promoting the growth of philosophy at the UAE University. The Philosophy Department at UAEU is robust and dynamic. It hosts a vibrant research seminar series, regional and international conferences, and world-class visitors. The faculty are all active researchers in diverse fields. The primary duties of the successful candidate are teaching, research, and service to the university and the community. The main teaching load is in the university’s General Education program, particularly in courses on critical thinking and applied ethics. The application package should include a cover letter, a detailed resume, a brief description of current/future research activities, teaching philosophy, courses taught and the names and contact details of three referees. English is the language of instruction and communication. Applicants must possess a PhD degree in philosophy from an internationally recognized and reputable university. Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply; however, preference will be given to those with relevant university teaching and research experience in academic environments where English is the medium of instruction. Those applying for the ranks of Associate Professor or Full Professor will need commensurately higher levels of publication and professional activity. The AOS is open, though the department will look favourably on candidates who can demonstrate the capacity to teach critical thinking and applied ethics and whose research profile complements the profiles of current faculty members of the department. Teaching is primarily in English, though bilingual Arabic/English will be highly regarded. Competence in, experience with, and a willingness to use new technologies in teaching are highly desirable. This technology includes, but is not limited to, e-teaching platforms such as Blackboard, Moodle and iPads, and classroom technology such as SMART Boards. Experience in teaching in multicultural contexts, where most students are not native speakers of English, is also highly desirable. Note that contracts are for four years and are renewable subject to satisfactory performance and ongoing need for the position.
Applicants must have an earned doctorate in the applicable field. The ability to teach undergraduate courses is a must. Industrial and professional experience is a plus.

EC Research Project "Digital Do It Yourself” (DiDIY), Horizon 2020, ICT 31-2014-644344
30 months (starting January 2015 or soon thereafter)
Anatolia College/ACT (Thessaloniki) - physical location of researcher is negotiable
Ca. 1,900 EUR/month (gross) + travel budget + office/IT budget (= 75% position)
Principal Investigator at Anatolia College/ACT: Professor Vincent C. Müller (http://www.sophia.de)
Project outline: Digital Do-It-Yourself (DiDIY) is a new socio-technological phenomenon that emerges from the availability of devices that allow the non-professional a digitally precise reproduction of physical artefacts (just like the digital reproduction of data): Anybody can make anything any time. These technologies together with the growing accessibility of data through open online communities lead to new roles and relations among individuals, organizations, and society; in which the distinction between users and producers of physical artefacts is blurred, and new opportunities and risks emerge. Within the larger project (7 institutions, 2.1 mil EUR), Anatolia College/ACT will work on ethical problems and risks of these emerging technologies.
Candidate Profile: We are looking for someone with expertise in applied ethics and new technologies. Some background in philosophy is desirable but other perspectives are possible. The researcher could be a Post-Doc or a PhD student. If a student, we offer the possibility to pursue a PhD programme with the University of Reading, Department of Philosophy and/or Department of Cybernetics. Cooperation with other departments, e.g. at the University of Oxford, are also possible.
Applications (Letter of interest + CV) should be sent in a single PDF file per e-mail with the subject line “DiDIY job” to vmueller [__at__] act [dot] edu. Viewing of applications will begin on January 15th but applications until January 31st are considered.
