ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY announces a 5 million dollar gift from David and Joan Lincoln to support the development of a university wide Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics. We invite nominations and applications for the Center Director who will be appointed to the Lincoln Endowed Chair in Ethics, located in an appropriate academic unit within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Fine Arts, Business, Public Programs, or Education. The Director will provide the leadership to develop the Center into one of national and international distinction in fulfillment of its mission: (1) to develop and coordinate a strong focus on theoretical and applied ethics across intellectual disciplines and professional programs within the university (2) to support innovative teaching and creative research in ethics (3) to foster collaboration between the university and its varied publics in order to address major ethical challenges facing contemporary society.
The person selected for this position must be an established and tenurable scholar at the rank of Professor; have a Ph.D. (or equivalent doctoral degree), and a distinguished, nationally recognized record of publication within the broad area of ethics; and show demonstrated ability to provide administrative and academic leadership for the development of the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics. In addition to a strong background in ethical theory, the individual must have a demonstrated ability to apply this background, in teaching and in writing, to ethical problems and dilemmas in contemporary life (e.g. medicine, science and technology; business, the arts, government, or education.) The university desires to appoint a "public intellectual", an individual able to communicate across disciplinary boundaries within the university and between the university and its various publics. Previous experience in successful program development and fund raising is desirable.
Although a tenured position, appointment to the endowed chair and directorship is for a five year renewable term and will provide, in addition to a competitive salary, approximately $50,000 per year to support the individual's research and teaching activities. Applications must include a letter of interest which briefly indicates the candidate's vision for the development of the Center, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information for three references. The review of applications will begin on January 15, 2000, and continue until the position is filled. Send written nominations and formal applications to Linell Cady, Chair, Search Committee for the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Arizona State University, P.O. Box 871701, Tempe, AZ 85287-1701. Arizona State University is an AA/EO Employer.
