Description:
The Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IHPST) in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in the area of Philosophy of Science and/or Technology. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026.
This search aligns with the University\'s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members (Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply.
Candidates must have earned a PhD degree in Philosophy of Science and/or Technology or a closely related discipline by the time of appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing departmental strengths. The successful candidate will specialize in general philosophy of science, or the philosophies of the natural sciences, health, data, or information. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in Philosophy of Race, Philosophy of non-Western Science, Indigenous knowledges, and/or expertise in philosophical work at the intersection of race and science and/or technology. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and independent research, and to establish an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research program.
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence which can be demonstrated by a record of publications in top-ranked and field relevant journals or forthcoming publications meeting high international standards, the submitted research statement, presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements from referees.
Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier (including sample course materials and teaching evaluations) submitted as part of the application, as well as strong letters of reference.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the IHPST\'s research-intensive graduate programs and its undergraduate programs in science and society and history and philosophy of science by, for instance, teaching undergraduate courses in the Philosophy of Science and/or Technology; graduate courses in the Philosophy of Science and/or Technology; and by developing courses related to the candidate\'s own research expertise. In addition, the successful candidate will have the ability to teach some of the Institute’s existing courses, including but not limited to HPS100H1 Introduction to the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology and the HPS1100Y Advanced Research graduate seminar.
The IHPST is a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of scholars pursuing innovative research into the histories and philosophies of science, technology, and medicine, past and present. The Institute further forges intellectual and pedagogical connections between the humanities and STEM disciplines. We anticipate that the successful candidate will be involved in collaborative initiatives in research and teaching with other cognate departments depending upon their area(s) of expertise.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Applicants must submit a cover letter; a current curriculum vitae; a research statement outlining current and future research interests; a recent chapter or article-length writing sample; and a teaching dossier including a teaching statement, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations.

We seek candidates who share these values and who demonstrate throughout the application materials their commitment and efforts to advance equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment.

Embedded Ethics Postdoctoral Fellows
Applications due December 4, 2025
We invite applications for our 2026-27 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 create curricular materials, course assignments, and teach ethics modules in CS courses.
Fellowship Details
We will hire 3-4 fellows. Postdoctoral fellows are 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 fellows have responsibility for (a) working with CS faculty and Course Assistants to develop ethics modules, (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.
Eligibility and Application Requirements
We seek applicants with a Ph.D. in philosophy, law, political science, information studies, computer science, or science and technology studies who can teach ethics (but ethics need not be their specialization). We will prioritize candidates with 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 modules. We are particularly interested in candidates with research focused on agentic AI.
Applicants must complete all requirements for their Ph.D. no later than June 30, 2026. Candidates must also be no more than three years from the awarding of their degree at the start of the fellowship (i.e., September 2022). The term of the fellowship is September 1, 2026 - August 31, 2027 and is renewable for a second year. We welcome applications from individuals with a broad range of life experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds who would contribute to our community of scholars. The expected salary is $80,000. For additional information and the link to apply, visit our website. (https://ethicsinsociety.stanford.edu/postdoctoral/application-process-embedded-ethics-fellowship)
Applications are due December 4, 2025 by 9 pm Pacific Time.
