<br>
<br>Delft University of Technology offers three positions for PhD students as part
<br>of the research project Design for changing values: a theory of value change
<br>in sociotechnical systems. The entire project consists of 3 PhD positions and
<br>2 postdoc positions and will be supervised by prof.dr.ir. Ibo van de Poel. A
<br>complete description of the project can be requested. The project aims at
<br>better understanding how moral values may change as a result of technological
<br>development and how we can better deal with such changing values in the design
<br>of new technology.
<br>
<br>Each of the PhD positions focuses on one of the following more specific
<br>topics:
<br>
<br> * Changing values and the design of energy systems
<br> * Design for value change in robot systems and artificial intelligence
<br> * Design strategies for value change in sociotechnical systems
<br>
<br>Each of the projects involves empirical as well philosophical investigations
<br>into the phenomenon of value change and its implications for the design of
<br>sociotechnical systems. The first two projects focus on value change in a more
<br>specific domain (energy systems and artificial intelligence). The third
<br>project focuses on developing design strategies that better allow to deal with
<br>value change.
<br>
<br>The candidate will carry out doctoral research which will lead to a
<br>dissertation, and will also produce relevant publications. The candidate will
<br>participate in the Graduate School of TU Delft and in PhD program of the
<br>4TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology. When applying please indicate in which
<br>position(s) you are interested; you can indicate more than one position. The
<br>candidate will also be involved in the teaching activities of the department.
<br>
<br>Requirements
<br>We are looking for applicants with the following qualifications:
<br>
<br> * A master degree in philosophy, engineering or a relevant
<br>socio-scientific discipline, like STS (science and technology studies)
<br> * A demonstrable interest in applied ethics and in technology
<br> * It is recommended that the candidate has had experience in carrying out
<br>empirical research and has knowledge of the relevant technological domain
<br>studied in the PhD project
<br> * Good analytical and reasoning skills, as demonstrated by, for example, a
<br>master thesis
<br> * Willingness and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team
<br> * Ability to present his or her ideas clearly also to people with another
<br>disciplinary background
<br> * Openness to criticism
<br> * Productive and dedicated
<br> * Good command of both written and spoken English
<br>
