Rank/Title Associate/Full Professor

Position No. 50966

Southern Methodist University (SMU) seeks a visionary scholar to lead our groundbreaking initiative in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ethics beginning August 1, 2025. Over the past several years, SMU has been actively developing a big-data ecosystem, supported by next-generation research computing technology, to engage the disciplines across campus from physics to art, engineering to history, and business to education, in the pursuit of leading-edge research with impact.

The Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor in Human Values: Endowed Chair of Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (Scurlock Chair), one of SMU’s two endowed university-level professorships, reports directly to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and represents our commitment to bringing an ethical and humanistic analysis to bear on the future of AI. We see this chair as an opportunity to expand our impact across both the artificial intelligence and ethics domains, and to bring to campus a world-renowned scholar who will contribute to, and expand upon, the robust work that is already taking place on campus in ways that benefit faculty, staff, students and the broader community.

Position Overview

We are at a pivotal moment in human history, where artificial intelligence is reshaping the fabric of society. Our university seeks a thought leader who will bridge the technological frontier with human values, ethics, and societal needs. The successful candidate will help to shape vital conversations across academic, political, and policy discourses that guide societal understanding of how AI can augment and enhance human capability while preserving the essence of human creativity, decision-making, and social connection.

The role of the Scurlock chair is to be a leading advocate for ethics in the national and international community. Certainly, we recognize the need for human-centered influence in the development of AI to ensure that technology serves human needs and values. From a philosophical vantage, the concerns range from AI’s social and cultural impact to the development of values literacy in AI programming or the protection of human rights. In governance, the issues may include maintaining transparency in decision making, data and privacy concerns, responsible innovation, and equity and access concerns. In applied ethics, the practical implementation of AI might include governance standards, policy oversight and ethical guidelines for AI deployment. We welcome applications from any recognized area of study.

Qualifications

SMU is seeking an active researcher in ethics applied to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in ethics, a closely related field, or an equivalent terminal degree. The position will be at the rank of full professor. Candidates at the associate rank with the potential to earn full professor will also be considered. We are open to any AI research specialization, as we recognize that expertise in AI may come from a wide scope of perspectives. Additionally, the candidates should have:

• Demonstrated excellence in bridging technological innovation with human-centered approaches

• Track record of interdisciplinary collaboration spanning technical and humanistic domains

• Understanding of AI applications to collaborate on fundable grant opportunities

• Proven ability to engage with questions of ethics, equity, and social impact in technological advancement

• Strong commitment to mentoring the next generation of thoughtful technology leaders

• An interest in and passion for partnering with the region’s corporations, foundations, and municipal governments on matters affecting the DFW metroplex

The Ideal Candidate Will Possess

• Vision for preserving human agency in an increasingly automated world

• Commitment to equity and inclusion in technological advancement

• Capability and proven history of contributing to current discourse as a public intellectual who brings issues in ethics and AI into contact with concerns of everyday life

• Passion for nurturing human creativity and critical thinking alongside AI literacy

• Desire to teach AI-related ethics courses in the graduate/undergraduate curriculum

• Experience in curriculum development that integrates AI literacy with critical thinking and creativity

• Ability to translate complex technological concepts to diverse audiences

Our Commitment

• We offer a vibrant intellectual environment where innovation meets reflection, and where technological advancement is guided by human values. Our university is committed to creating a future where AI serves as a tool for human flourishing.

• SMU values cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether working with our innovative Pegasus Park project, The O’Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute, The Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility, the Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute, or the numerous initiatives of our eight degree-granting schools, opportunities for collaboration and impact are substantial.

• This position offers competitive salary and benefits, research support, and the opportunity to shape the future of human-centered AI development.

SMU has a long commitment to ethics. Two university professorships were established in the mid-1980s, the Scurlock Chair and the Maguire Chair in Ethics. In 1995, The Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility was founded as a university-wide initiative for the interdisciplinary exploration of contemporary ethical questions.

Major grant-funded research utilizing AI by SMU faculty and students include:

• SMU is part of a six-institution NSF AI Institute (AI-ENGAGE), which is focused on narrative centered learning environments and has emphasized ethics and AI.

• Researchers in SMU’s Simmons School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) are collaborating with SMU’s Guildhall to build AI into their XPRIZE-winning adult literacy app to create an adaptive learning experience.

• Researchers in SEHD are collaborating with Kings College, U. of North Carolina and University of Zambia to add AI to their virtual reality surgery simulation to provide a real-time feedback experience to trainees.

• Supported by an $18 million DoD contract and NASA grants totaling more than $2 million, Earth Science’s faculty in Dedman College lead a consortium of universities working to integrate AI into the detection and interpretation of subtle seismic and acoustic signals relevant to national defense, and in the interpretation of satellite data.

• SMU physicists, who have played an important role in the discovery of the Higgs particle, are utilizing AI to reduce model dependence of discovery, and are working to put deep learning on a chip for hardware deployment at CERN.

• Researchers in SMU’s Lyle School of Engineering are exploring a range of areas including the integrity of the nation’s infrastructure, traffic management, on-line information credibility, discrimination of external threats from malfunctions in cyber anomalies, and collaborative machine/human problem solving.

• Scholars in communication and business are working with corporate and nonprofit boards to consider their expanding responsibilities as AI begins to impact organizational operations.

• Scholars in the arts are investigating a wide variety of applications including AI-assisted digital art creations, AI-assisted music production and mixing, and motion capture analysis for dance optimization.

• Legal scholars are analyzing areas such as risk management, regulatory compliance, outcome due diligence automation, and automatized contract reviewing and drafting.

About Us

Foundation for Economic Development (FED) is a Delhi-based non-profit organisation that aims to bring about a sustained and broad-based economic growth of over 10% in India.

The evidence clearly shows that economic growth is the best tool to lift people out of poverty and improve the quality of life for everyone.

Since 2010, sustaining fast growth has been challenging as the easy gains have been realised. It is critical for India to maintain a growth rate of over 10% for long periods of time if we want Indian's quality of life to improve rapidly and sustainably.

FED will identify select sectors of the economy which have the highest potential for generating incremental growth and jobs and then work with policymakers to make it happen. The organisation has Dr Aravind Panagariya, Naushad Forbes, Gurcharan Das, Jerry Rao and Ashish Dhawan on its advisory board who are helping shape the thinking and execution.

About the Position

Rethink Priorities’ Animal Welfare Department is a hub and platform that advances and pioneers evidence-based and reason-driven change for animals. The department seeks to hire a Senior Researcher to help fulfill our mission of accelerating the end of factory farming and reducing the suffering of animals living in the wild. The Senior Researcher would play a leading role in each of our core programs:

Research: We accelerate the development of evidence-based findings and insights for those working towards a better future for animals.

Stakeholder engagement: We build meaningful connections to support better-informed decision-making of advocates, charitable organizations, and others improving animal welfare worldwide.

Infrastructure development: We experiment and scale up novel approaches to help the most neglected animals and strengthen the capacity of the animal welfare movement.

• The types of tasks involved in the role: Within the first year, you are likely to do most of the following at least once:
  • Conduct a literature review to get a better sense of the scale of an issue negatively affecting animals
  • Model the cost-effectiveness analysis on an intervention to reduce animal suffering
  • Identify and interview experts to address questions that cannot be easily answered by consulting academic or grey literature.
  • Deliver an oral presentation on your recent work at a conference, and network with other attendees.
  • Help organize a coordination event to help the animal movement prioritize which issues to tackle next.
• What sorts of topics you would work on: Check out the executive summaries of our reports on investments into insect farming, institutional meat reduction campaigns, and labeling restrictions for alternative proteins to get a sense of the types of questions you would investigate. Many of our projects are self-generated, based on ideas that we believe deserve more attention, while others are requested directly from mission-aligned philanthropic or advocacy organizations.
• What makes this a "Senior" role:
  • The level of autonomy: You have the experience to execute projects with minimal oversight. While you have many colleagues you can consult, you will take the initiative to learn how to do tasks you have not done before.
  • The opportunity to provide strategic input: Department leadership will often consult you on decisions of strategic importance, such as which projects to work on.
  • Your demonstrated ability to tailoring outputs to decision-makers: You have conducted research that is aimed at influencing stakeholders other than your peers. As part of that experience, you have elicited the needs of your main audience early on during projects, and have adjusted the presentation to ensure that the key insights are easy for them to find and understand.

The successful candidate will report directly to Senior Research Manager William McAuliffe and collaborate with the entire Animal Welfare department.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Researcher, you will play a key role in designing, conducting, and communicating high-quality research that informs and guides animal welfare leaders, organizations, policymakers, and charitable foundations in developing strategies to improve animal welfare.

In line with this overarching mission, your main responsibilities will include:

• Engaging with external stakeholders to identify how to create deliverables to their preferred specifications.
• Building Fermi estimates and forecasts, explicitly incorporating uncertainty.
• Drafting well-written reports from inception to delivery, with minimal oversight.

Title

Project Lead- Knowledge

Location

Delhi

About Us

Foundation for Economic Development (FED) is a Delhi-based non-profit organisation that aims to bring about a sustained and broad-based economic growth of over 10% in India.

The evidence clearly shows that economic growth is the best tool to lift people out of poverty and improve the quality of life for everyone. Until 1991, Indias poverty rate remained unchanged at ~50%. Post reforms, poverty reduced from ~50% to ~20% with 35 crore (350 million) fewer people living in abject poverty. Since 2010, sustaining fast growth has been challenging as the easy gains have been realised. It is critical for India to maintain a growth rate of over 10% for long periods of time if we want Indian's quality of life to improve rapidly and sustainably.

FED will identify select sectors of the economy which have the highest potential for generating incremental growth and jobs and then work with policymakers to make it happen. The organisation has Dr Aravind Panagariya, Naushad Forbes, Gurcharan Das, Jerry Rao and Ashish Dhawan on its advisory board who are helping shape the thinking and execution.

Our Work

FED has identified Export Led Labour Intensive Manufacturing and Tourism as the highest opportunity sectors for generating incremental growth through aggressive reforms over the next few years. Immediate focus is largely on labour intensive manufacturing as this is an area of highest upside if right reforms can be brought about around critical factors of production like labour, land, utilities, EODB and logistics.

Meet Our Leaders:

Piyush Doshi (Operating Partner)

Rahul Ahluwalia (Founding Director)

Vinay Ramesh (Chief Operating Officer)

Our Approach

FED work streams are divided into three primary areas.

• Research and Strategy: Deep dive into identified sectors, speak to relevant stakeholders, study practices from other countries and build data-backedthe evidence for change
• Communication and Outreach: Build salience for opportunity in target sectors and need for reforms through op-eds in relevant channels, social media as well as one on one engagement with key bureaucrats and policymakers.
• Implementation Support: Work with select state governments in helping implement specific actions to promote the target sectors. The team is currently working closely with the UP Government on its Mission Trillion Dollar'' economy. The team is also working with Telangana and Tamil Nadu governments on their economic growth agenda.

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Project Lead - Knowledge to spearhead our research initiatives and create impactful thought papers and knowledge products. The role involves conducting rigorous research, developing reports, publishing papers and presenting insights that will establish FED's perspective across various stakeholders including government bodies, private sector leaders, and policymakers. Some of the current focus areas for potential reform include Manufacturing Clusters, Indian Export performance, Tariffs, Pollution control norms, EODB reforms etc. This position is crucial for our mission to create public goods that inform and shape economic reforms.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct in-depth analysis and develop high-quality reports and presentations.
• Design and execute research projects that align with FED's strategic goals in identified focus reform areas and high-opportunity sectors such as Export Led Labour Intensive Manufacturing and Tourism
• Engage with key stakeholders to disseminate research findings and advocate for necessary reforms.
• Drive FED thought leadership in identified areas by helping publish knowledge paper
• Create and manage the production of knowledge products that highlight FEDs research findings and recommendations.
• Maintain active communication channels with industry experts, government officials, and the academic community to stay updated on the latest economic developments and policy changes.

Economic and social change is underpinned by advances in computing: for instance, improvements in the miniaturization of integrated circuits, the discovery and refinement of algorithms, and the development and diffusion of better software systems and processes. We aim to identify and understand the trends in computing that create opportunities or risks and help leaders in computing, scientific funding bodies, and government to respond appropriately.

Our research therefore helps to answer important questions including: Will AI progress accelerate or decline – and should it? What are the implications for economic growth and for the labor markets? What are the bottlenecks to growth from AI, and how can they be solved? What are the risks from AI, and how can we mitigate them?

To support our research, we run seminars and conferences to better connect the field of computer scientists, economists, and innovation scholars to build a thriving global research community.

To disseminate it, we advise governments, nonprofits and industry, including via National Academies panels on transformational technologies and scientific reliability, the Council on Competitiveness’ National Commission on Innovation and Competitiveness Frontiers, and the National Science Foundation’s National Network for Critical Technology Assessment.

Our work has been funded by Open Philanthropy, the National Science Foundation, Microsoft, Accenture, IBM, the MIT-Air Force AI accelerator, and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Some of our recent outputs:

• The AI Risk Repository: A Comprehensive Meta-Review, Database, and Taxonomy of Risks from Artificial Intelligence
• Beyond AI Exposure: Which Tasks are Cost-Effective to Automate with Computer Vision?
• How industry is dominating AI research
• The Quantum Tortoise and the Classical Hare: A simple framework for understanding which problems quantum computing will accelerate (and which it will not)
