Call for Applications and NominationsJames W. Wagner Chair in EthicsEmory University   Emory University seeks the inaugural James W. Wagner Chair in Ethics. This is an endowed chair faculty position with a special emphasis on the ethics of artificial intelligence or AI, created with the support of the university’s board of trustees to honor and recognize Emory President James W. Wagner (2003-2016) for his “commitment to education and life at Emory.”      We desire a leading scholar who works in AI ethics, governance, responsible AI, or other fields concerned with the implications of artificial intelligence in public and private settings. As organizations increasingly rely on AI and as novel applications emerge, ethically committed institutions like Emory need to articulate values that can help guide development and respond to emerging problems. Whoever holds the Wagner Chair should thus be comfortable with public scholarship and be able to engage AI theorists and developers in concrete ways.   At Emory, the field of ethics is conceived comprehensively to encompass humanistic, natural scientific, and social scientific inquiry as well the professions. We thus need a scholar with a history of productive, multi-disciplinary research and teaching and an ability to work across units and schools.    Emory as well as Atlanta is already home to a broad range of AI work. The University also features a large and well-integrated Center for Ethics that brings together ethics scholars from around campus, including some already working in AI ethics. Whoever occupies the Wagner Chair therefore will enter an existing community with the task of deepening its ties and helping it grow—and growth is on the horizon. Over the next several years, Emory is committed to recruiting and hiring forty to sixty AI researchers across the university. The Wagner Chair is an initial step in a major initiative that seeks to put Emory at the heart of the AI revolution.      Applicants should have an earned Ph.D. (or equivalent terminal degree) in a relevant field with an academic record and trajectory that is consistent with tenure and a named chair faculty position.   Search information and updates are available here: https://provost.emory.edu/work/initiatives/ai-humanity/wagner-chair/nominate-apply.html   A note to prospective applicants: Emory University is conducting a confidential search with the support of Greenwood/Asher Associates. For more information about the process and to submit nominations and/or application materials, please contact: Ms. Jeanie Andrews: jeanieandrews@greenwoodsearch.com   Applications should include: - CV - Letter of interest - Links to top three representative publications - Targeted statement (up to 1000 words) on the role of the ethics of AI in a university setting and the major challenges and opportunities for the field. Statements should be prepared for a preliminary blind review by the search advisory committee and thus should avoid immediately identifiable references. - Potential (semi)finalists may be contacted for references and evidence of strong teaching   For full consideration, applicant materials should ideally be received by the priority deadline of January 31, 2022.
