Call for applications

Teaching Fellow in Ethics and Agricultural Biotechnology
Iowa State University


The Bioethics Program at Iowa State University (ISU) will support a
Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow interested in devoting a year or more in
residence at ISU to teaching about, and conducting research in,
ethics and agricultural biotechnology, and to developing curriculum
materials for educators of high school students and non-university
adults.  By "agricultural biotechnology" we intend a wide rather than
restricted subject matter. We would like to support a teacher
concerned with normative issues associated with the genetic
manipulation of human foods; or other plants or microrganisms; or
companion, research, or production animals; and so on.

The Fellow will:
ÿ Teach two sections, one per semester, of "Ethical Theory and
Practice," an introductory level course in the ISU Philosophy and
Religious Studies Department;
ÿ Develop curricular materials suitable for discussing bioethics with
high school and non-university adult audiences;
ÿ Train educators to incorporate discussions of bioethics into their
classes and programs;
ÿ Conduct and publish research on issues in ethics and agricultural
biotechnology;
ÿ Submit an article to a refereed journal at the end of the year,
describing either the Fellow's research or the curriculum development
project, and acknowledging the sources of support (the ISU Bioethics
Program, Biotechnology Program, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
and the U.S. Department of Agriculture).

The Fellow will spend 70 percent of their time on teaching and
curriculum responsibilities, and 30 percent on research. There are no
additional departmental duties or committee assignments.

The Fellow is welcome to participate in other activities of the ISU
Bioethics Program, including seminars, colloquia, and public
lectures. In addition, the Fellow will be provided with an office,
modest secretarial support, copier privileges, and access to Parks
Library.

The Fellow will receive a salary of $35,000, a travel budget of
$2,500, fringe benefits, and funds for materials and supplies. The
fellowship period is at least one year; renewal for additional years
is possible.

The selection committee will consist of members of the Bioethics
Program, the Biotechnology Program, the and the Philosophy and
Religious Studies Department. Applicants will be evaluated on the
basis of the following considerations:  strength of teaching; the
contribution they are likely to make to curriculum development;
significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the
purposes of the Bioethics Program; and likelihood of future
contributions to teaching and writing in this area.

The Fellow will have a doctorate, typically in Philosophy, and cannot
be in the process of completing a dissertation.

How to Apply:

For an application to receive full consideration, applicants need to
submit by the deadline:
… a curriculum vitae;
… a statement of no more than 1500 words describing the applicant's
qualifications to teach the ethics courses and undertake the
curriculum development project;
… a statement (of no more than 1000 words) describing the applicant's
research interests;
… an information summary form.

Applicants must also arrange for three letters of reference to be
sent directly to the Bioethics Program by the deadline.

Deadline is December 15, 2001, or until position is filled.

Application materials should be sent to:

Dr. Gary Comstock, Coordinator
Bioethics Program
402 Catt Hall
Iowa State University
Ames, IA 50011-1306
