Dear colleagues, My research group at the Univ. of British Columbia, NERD (Norms Evolving in Response to Dilemmas) is part of a the GE3LS ARC project that has received substantial funding from Genome Canada/BC. My group is modeling different types of more or less moral agents, and building new interactive survey instruments to test models against real human populations and serious decision problems in ethics and technology. Our research group is student oriented. It includes a number of excellent graduate and post-doctoral students, mounts regular for- credit courses, and supports student participation in authoring and presenting our work. We have funding for additional students and would like to broaden the disciplinary base of our group. So please bring our ads to the attention of students interested in modeling (game theoretic, evolutionary, agent-based, etc) and experimental social science in an interdisciplinary friendly ethics context. I can supervise students in philosophy or interdisciplinary studies; my colleagues in our research group can supervise in a range of departments and disciplines. This is a terrific opportunity for students interested in a challenging mix of formal and applied work. Our science partners include major genomics labs ranging from emerging infectious diseases, through mouse and salmonid genomics, to forestry. Graduate student ad Post-doc ad In any case, check out my group's site for our two surveys (on genomics and human health and salmon) and our recent papers and presentations.
