Andrew Harris Fellowship Program Department of Sociology The University of Vermont The University of Vermont is pleased to announce an academic fellowship position in the Department of Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) at the University of Vermont (UVM). UVM is especially interested in scholars who can contribute to the College of Arts and Sciences diversity plan, which was designed in part to ensure faculty, students, and staff members from underrepresented and marginalized populations are an integral part of the life and governance of the institution. Description The Andrew Harris Fellowship is open to BIPOC and is designed to bring promising early-career scholars to the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Vermont. Fellows are required to teach one course each semester (two courses over the year) for the College of Arts and Sciences, and deliver one research colloquium talk per year at the university related to the Fellow’s research (see “Area of Expertise” below). The fellowship (Postdoctoral Associate appointment) includes an annual, university health insurance, moving expenses, and research funds. Each semester the Fellow will also be provided with an undergraduate teaching assistant. Area of Expertise The UVM Sociology Department seeks a sociologist with research and teaching interests in crime, the criminal-legal system, the experience of justice-involved individuals, and/or law and society and social justice. Desired specializations of applicants include the role and intersection of race, gender, sexuality/identities, and economic status/poverty in interactions with the criminal-legal system and agents of control at all stages, and societal efforts aimed at combatting the impact of structural racism on the criminal-legal system. Beyond that, candidates who do mixed methods research, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches and who are prepared to contribute to the teaching of these methods, are of particular interest. Possibility of Tenure-Track This Fellowship is offered as a full-time, 12-month Postdoctoral Associate appointment (August 1, through July 31) in the Department of Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences. Fellowships may be renewed for up to two years on the basis of performance and budgetary feasibility. Fellows establish and pursue their own research agenda with guidance through a mentorship program tailored to help the fellow to transition into a tenure-track faculty position at the end of the Fellowship. If, during the Fellowship, the Fellow decides to apply for a tenure-track position at UVM, the Department of Sociology will vote about converting the position to tenure-track and send the hiring recommendation to the Provost for approval. Such a tenure-track position would be 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service. Courses taught would serve the Sociology Department, the Health and Society Program, and the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program in the College of Arts and Sciences.

We invite applications for our Embedded EthiCS postdoctoral fellowship based at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Stanford Embedded Ethics is a collaborative program that embeds the teaching of ethics directly into the core undergraduate courses of Stanford’s computer science curriculum. Working in collaboration with CS faculty and graduate students, the fellows will create curricular materials, course assignments, and teach ethics modules in CS courses. 2023-2024 will be the fourth year of this program, and fellows will have the opportunity to continue to shape the direction of this approach to technology education at Stanford. We will hire 1-2 fellows. The postdoctoral fellows will be expected to spend 50% of their time working with the Embedded Ethics program and 50% of their time on their independent research within a cohort of postdoctoral fellows appointed at the Ethics Center and HAI. The postdoctoral fellow will have responsibility for (a) working with CS faculty and students to develop course materials, (b) teaching the modules, (c) providing pedagogical training for Course Assistants in CS, and (d) participating in the intellectual life of the Ethics Center and HAI. We seek applicants with a Ph.D. in philosophy, law, political science, information studies, or science and technology studies who can teach ethics (but ethics need not be their specialization), and who are enthusiastic to work with computer scientists to develop ethics modules. We will prioritize candidates who have a computer science background from their undergraduate studies and/or work experience. Ideal candidates will have knowledge of computer science fundamentals, coding skills, significant teaching experience, experience with cross-disciplinary research or teaching, and enthusiasm about developing ethics pedagogy Applicants must complete all requirements for their Ph.D. no later than June 30, 2023.
