Job Description

Associate Professor or Professor in Biomedical Ethics

Centre for Biomedical Ethics, National University of Singapore

The Centre for Biomedical Ethics (CBmE) was established in September 2006 in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine through a generous gift by the Chen Su Lan Trust. We work to develop understanding, capacity for good judgement, and sound ethical practice in the context of healthcare provision, biomedical science and health-related policy development. CBmE, directed by Prof Julian Savulescu, is a thriving centre for learning, teaching and research relating to ethical and legal aspects of healthcare and biomedical sciences. We are responsible for the development and delivery of the Health Ethics, Law and Professionalism programme through all five years of the undergraduate medical curriculum in addition to the postgraduate and continuing professional education courses in bioethics. You can find out more about CBmE here: ************* The goal of the new Director is to make CBmE a world leading Centre of medical ethics with a vibrant culture and strong international, particularly Asian, presence.

We are looking to appoint a talented, collegial, committed and enthusiastic bioethicist to join our faculty. We are particularly keen to develop our strengths in research and teaching in medical ethics generally with possible specialisms in empirical bioethics, experimental bioethics, reproductive ethics, genethics, neuroethics, AI ethics or clinical and healthcare ethics (including work on health systems and public health). The person appointed will have sufficient experience and standing to strengthen and support the development of our research portfolio, and to make significant educational contributions as we enhance our undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. We will consider medically qualified applicants who are eligible and keen to maintain some clinical responsibilities, but they must be able and willing to take on (proportionately) the full range of teaching and research responsibilities of the position.

This is an academic faculty appointment, and the appointment track depends on experience and track record.

• Teach, develop, and coordinate postgraduate bioethics programmes, including supervision of Master’s and doctoral students
• Mentor undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and early‑career researchers, and contribute to staff development within the Centre
• Serve in a senior leadership role for a regional bioethics journal, and provide intellectual leadership in shaping Asian and global bioethics discourse.
• Support CBmE’s broader academic activities, including the organisation of international conferences, workshops, and public engagement initiatives, and contributions to policy consultations (e.g. Ministry of Health)
• Participate in university, school, and external committees as appropriate to rank, and contribute collegially to the academic life of CBmE, the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and the National University of Singapore

• A PhD in bioethics or a closely related discipline (e.g. philosophy, sociology, anthropology, health policy) from a reputable university
