The School for Transformation is currently looking for a senior lecturer for an undergraduate course in ‘Ethics and Human Rights’ at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. The course should address the major challenges to democratic rights and freedoms raised by Digitization, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, while also engaging with the ethical and political dimensions of socio-ecological transformations such as loss of biodiversity, species extinction and climate change. The course is designed as a 2 SWS module (3ECTS) to be taught in the winter term 2024 as part of the new BA ‘Transformation Studies. ArtxScience’. The degree offers a transdisciplinary curriculum that lays out the theoretical and practical foundations for understanding change dynamics – both historically and present – at the intersection of scientific and artistic methods and practices. With this in mind, we are looking for an engaged scholar trained in political philosophy, applied ethics or human rights, ideally with a strong network of international contacts to social activists and/or human rights practitioners. Given the scope of topics and themes to be covered, the teaching method should combine self-taught classes with inputs from external guest speakers, specializing in relevant fields. Next to topical sessions and debates, special emphasis should be placed on practical exercises, workshops and case studies as well as field visits to allow for a rich and engaging learning experience. The renumeration follows the payment scheme for external lecturers of the KV for University Personal.
