The Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University seeks to hire a tenure-line faculty member with a focus on ethics and public policy at the rank of assistant or associate professor. This faculty member will hold the inaugural Bruce Payne Chair in the Sanford School.

The Payne Chair will have academic training and an established track record of research and teaching at the intersection of ethics and public policy. The ideal candidate will also have demonstrated expertise in technology ethics. Possible areas of emphasis include privacy, data bias, algorithmic systems, structural inequalities in technology access, or the democratic or societal implications of technological change. The Payne Chair would also potentially play a leadership role in the design and coordination of the Sanford School’s core curriculum courses in ethics.

Candidates should be able to teach courses in their area of specialization and core courses in the Sanford curriculum such as Policy Choice as Value Conflict, Ethics of Public Policymaking, and Organizational Ethics. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a policy and ethics-relevant discipline such as political science, philosophy, or science and technology studies, and a record of (or demonstrated capacity for) scholarly publication, public engagement, and excellence in teaching.

The Sanford School includes an interdisciplinary full-time faculty of almost 70 and offers an undergraduate major, four Masters programs, and a Ph.D. program. The Sanford School houses several research centers and offers degree-related programs and opportunities in Washington, China, Scotland, London and Geneva. More information on the Sanford School can be found at https://www.sanford.duke.edu.
