C. Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Bioethics/Neuroethics at the University of Washington, Seattle

Description:

“We are pleased to announce recruitment for a postdoctoral fellow position in bioethics/neuroethics at the University of Washington, Seattle.  This position is funded by an NIH grant (#1R01MH130457-01) focused on ethical issues related to support for research participants in neural technology device trials (BRAIN Pioneers). The postdoc will work with the UW neuroethics team, a multi-disciplinary group led by Sara Goering and Eran Klein, based in the Department of Philosophy, with close connections to the UW Center for Neurotechnology (CNT). Work will involve conceptual, normative and empirical bioethics research related to neurotechnology. Disciplinary background is open (philosophy, law, anthropology, public health, science and technology studies, or related field), but the position will be housed in the Department of Philosophy. Full time research salary support for one year, with the possibility of renewal for additional years. Funding for conference travel and professional development will be included. The position is on-site at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Review of applications will begin on October 15, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. We anticipate a start date in January 2023, but an earlier start will be considered. Details on materials requirement and submission information is available through Interfolio (https://apply.interfolio.com/110316). Prospective applicants are invited to contact Sara Goering (sgoering@uw.edu) or Eran Klein (kleineuw@uw.edu) with questions.”

 

D. International Congress on “Criminal Law and Human Behavior: Challenges from Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence”

Date: September 21-23, 2022

Location: Toledo, Spain
