The Department of Philosophy at the University of Rochester invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor working on the ethics of artificial intelligence.

Excellence in teaching at diverse levels of instruction is essential, and consideration will be given to candidates’ potential for collaboration with colleagues in other disciplines.
