Working within the context of the ND–IBM Technology Ethics Lab, these Program Chairs will receive $100,000 per year to develop a research program in technology ethics, in addition to a one-ninth summer salary. The chairs will have access to programs, events, and community at ECG and the ND-IBM Tech Ethics Lab. They will serve renewable three-year terms, starting July 1, 2025.
Program Chairs can come from any discipline but should be advanced research or tenure-stream faculty at Notre Dame with research programs that align with and enhance the ND-IBM Tech Ethics Lab.
The ND–IBM Tech Ethics Lab produces critical research and thought leadership on ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence and other technologies by engaging with a broad set of stakeholders to examine real-world challenges and opportunities. The Lab’s mission is to drive ethical and human-centered design, development, deployment, and use of technology.
This exciting new opportunity is part of Notre Dame's Ethics Initiative, which is focused on establishing Notre Dame as a premier global destination for the study of ethics, offering superb training for future generations of ethicists and moral leaders, a platform for engagement of the Catholic moral tradition with other modes of inquiry, and an opportunity to forge insights into some of the most significant ethical issues of our time.
