Postdoctoral teaching position in "Critical Thinking for Engineers", Delft (The Netherlands)

POSTDOC POSITION (1.0 FTE, 2 YEARS): "CRITICAL THINKING FOR ENGINEERS"

The Ethics and Philosophy of Technology Section* at Delft University of
Technology is currently developing a "Critical Thinking for Engineers program"
(CTfE) within the context of the 4TU.CEE. To achieve the project goals, we are
looking for a FULLTIME POSTDOC for TWO YEARS who combines thorough knowledge in
argumentation theory with inside acquaintance with (at least one branch of)
engineering and technology. S/he should be inspired by the specific niche CTfE
occupies within the field of Critical Thinking in general.

The project aims at elaborating CTfE cases; i.e., developing sound argumentation
in favor or against descriptive or normative engineering claims. It also aims at
an inventory of the CTfE needs and wishes at the Dutch Technical Universities;
and it also aims at an analysis of the overlap between engineering ethics and
CTfE. The education goals of this project are: ready-made course material that
meets the needs of teachers at the four Dutch Universities of Technology. This
material should consist of: adjustable lecture sheets for adaptable CTfE
courses; accompanying lecture notes or a textbook manuscript (outlines of the
sheets and notes have been developed already); elaborated cases from all
branches of engineering, serving the purpose of illustration and exercise or
assignment; modules for blended learning; multiple choice exam questions and
other examination material on paper and online.

The Postdoc to be appointed will contribute to all these tasks in close
collaboration with other staff and student assistants and will start in January,
1st, 2020.

If you are interested please contact: Sjoerd Zwart (s.d.zwart@tudelft.nl)
