Phd in Ethics

3 maanden geleden

Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

The Ethics Institute of Utrecht University's department of Philosophy and Religious Studies seeks a researcher for a four-year, full-time PhD project "_Disrupting ageing_: Personhood, meaning, and vulnerability across the lifespan_", as part of the inter-university Gravitation consortium _Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technology (ESDiT)_.


Your job:

The ageing of societies is one of the 21st century's most disruptive demographic trends. Simultaneously, age-related technologies challenge the 'naturalness' of ageing and draw into focus ambiguities in the concept of ageing itself.

For instance, technologically-mediated relationships, life extension, and technologies such as AI avatars may make _biological_ and _chronological_ age less relevant, and shift the emphasis to _socio-cultural_ conceptions of age.

Such shifts have normative significance particularly if ageing is envisaged as a process that occurs throughout the lifespan.


Since ageing is a phenomenon infused with normativity, with normative expectations corresponding to phases in the human life cycle, the conceptual cleavage of ageing invites innovation in related moral concepts.

This PhD project examines ways in which technologies that bear on ageing disrupt biological, socio-cultural, and normative understandings of ageing.

It considers how these disruptions generate fruitful possibilities for reconceptualisation of ageing itself, as well as intertwined normative ideas of personhood, meaning, and vulnerability.

In doing so, the project will investigate non-western and non-canonical ideas that might reinvigorate core moral concepts implicated by ageing.


This PhD position is part of the _Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies_ programme, a ten year long international research programme of seven academic institutions in the Netherlands that started in January 2020.

The programme aims to achieve breakthrough research at the intersection of ethics, philosophy, technology / engineering and social sciences, and to position its consortium at the top of its field internationally.

A key objective is to investigate how new technologies challenge moral values and ontological concepts (like "nature", "human being" and "community"), and how these challenges necessitate a revision of these concepts.

The programme includes four research lines, "Nature, life and human intervention", "The future of a free and fair society", "The Human Condition" and "Synthesis:
Ethics of Technology, Practical Philosophy, and Modern Technology-Driven Societies".


This position is situated within the research line "The Human Condition" and within a working group on conceptual disruption and technology.

You will work under the supervision of Christopher Wareham (UU), Marcel Verweij (UU), and Naomi Jacobs (UT).

You are expected to play an active role in the project described above and to participate actively in the workshops, public events, courses and other activities of the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies programme in general and the "The Human Condition" research line and conceptual disruption working group in particular.

The position is based at the Ethics Institute, which is part of the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. It provides a stimulating and internationally oriented research environment.

Your qualities:

  • You will have completed, prior to appointment, a Master's degree or equivalent degree in Philosophy, Ethics, or Political Philosophy/Theory. Other Master's degrees will also be considered if you have a demonstrable expertise in analytical/conceptual problems and approaches to normative justification, in close connection with the themes of the research project.
  • You have an interest in moral and political philosophy, applied ethics, and normative issues related to technology.
  • Knowledge in a more specialised field relevant to the project (e.g. solidarity, ethics of technology, conceptual disruption, etc.) is welcome.
  • Especially welcome are approaches to this project that engage with traditions and perspectives that are currently marginalised within Western philosophy.
  • You have an excellent track record and research skills, relative to experience, and excellent academic writing and presentation skills.
  • You have the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • You have an active interest in interdisciplinary work which connects philosophical analysis to other relevant disciplines and societal challenges.
  • You have a high level of proficiency in English.

Our offer:

We offer:
- a position for a period of 18 months - in case of good performance and a positive evaluation, the contract will be extended for the remaining period of 30 months (4 years in total);
- a working week of 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €2,770 and €3,539 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU
