The College, in association with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, invite applications for a three-year fixed-term Research Fellowship funded by the Wellcome Trust to work on Informed Consent and Genetic Data. The successful candidate will have completed a Ph.D., and will have a broad philosophical training as well as a capacity to make critical use of relevant legal, scientific, clinical, and other literature. Specific competence in areas such as the philosophy of mind, ethical and political theory, theory of action, and philosophical logic will be important for this work. An informed interest in topics such as privacy, confidentiality, data protection, and issues surrounding the use of genetic and other personal data would also be helpful. Prior work within bioethics is not essential but could be useful.
The successful candidate will be a Fellow of the College and will be expected to participate fully in College life. The Fellow will help to organize interdisciplinary work, including seminars and conferences, and will develop links with those doing work in related areas. There will also be the opportunity to do some teaching. The basic salary is £21,079 to £24,954, according to age and academic qualification. A pay award is pending and subsidized accommodation may be available in the College.
Applications in hard copy, including a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of research interests, and intended research direction, should be sent to the Provost's Secretary, King's College, Cambridge, CB2 1ST, to arrive by 19 October 2001. Applicants should ask three referees to write to the Secretary by the said date. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview on 28 November 2001. Further details may be obtained from the Secretary or the College's website (http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/). Specific questions may be addressed to Dr Simon Goldhill, Co-ordinator of Research (e-mail sdg1001@cam.ac.uk).
