Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:24:42 -0400 https://careers.historians.org/jobs/rss/22224170/faith-and-ai-postdoctoral-fellowship https://careers.historians.org/jobs/rss/22224170/faith-and-ai-postdoctoral-fellowship Notre Dame, Indiana, The Institute for Ethics and the Common Good ( ECG ), the administrative home of the Ethics Initiative ( EI ) and the Global Catholic Research Initiative ( GCRI ) invite applications for a co-sponsored postdoctoral fellowship. We are seeking a postdoc to join a vibrant, interdisciplinary cohort dedicated to advancing research on faith-based ethical approaches to powerful AI, with a particular focus on the Catholic Church’s teachings and pastoral applications related to human formation and flourishing in eras of significant technological innovation and change. We welcome proposals from scholars working on substantial research projects related to this theme. Applicants from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply, including—but not limited to—theology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science, and history. The program is open to U.S. and international postdoctoral researchers. Postdoctoral fellows receive $80,000 each year in salary, $1,000 each year in dedicated research funds, and Notre Dame benefits. Fellows will also participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary community and take part in regular seminars and collaborative events, both with ECG and with the GCRI. RESEARCH THEME How do communities of faith, and their leaders, draw upon the Church’s teachings—including recent and past encyclicals, pastoral applications, and the Catholic Social Tradition—to respond to the fast paced, significantly emerging influence of artificial intelligence to ensure that human dignity remains central to human flourishing and the common good? Throughout the 20th century, religious and faith-based communities were instrumental in many of the era’s most significant moral and social movements—from the promotion of human rights to advocacy for nuclear disarmament and leadership in the Civil Rights Movement. These examples illustrate the enduring capacity of faith traditions to provide moral clarity and shape the direction of public life. Yet in the face of today’s rapid advances in artificial intelligence, faith traditions have remained largely silent. Ethical conversations surrounding AI are currently dominated by secular perspectives from philosophy, law, and computer science, while the rich moral resources of religious traditions have yet to offer sustained or cohesive engagement. This call invites proposals for research projects that aim to break that silence. We welcome substantial, interdisciplinary projects that explore the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence through a global lens and the lens of Church encyclicals and teachings, including Antiqua et Nova and the highly anticipated encyclical on faith and AI from Pope Leo XIV. Applicants might consider questions such as: How do the ethical teachings of Catholicism guide reflection on the design, use, or governance of AI? How could concepts such as dignity, embodiment, love, transcendence, and agency ( DELTA ) challenge or enrich dominant narratives about AI? How are faith communities in a global context currently engaging with AI in their practices, ministries, or institutional life? How could religious understandings of creation, stewardship, or human purpose shape critiques of AI development, techno-utopianism, or transhumanism? How might Catholic approaches to moral formation and character development inform the design of AI systems intended to make or support ethical decisions? These questions are intended as examples—we encourage applicants to pursue other lines of inquiry that align with the overarching theme of the Church’s teaching on innovation, formation, human dignity, and the common good as it relates to technology and AI. Our aim is to foster rigorous, creative, and faith-informed perspectives that can meaningfully engage the ethical challenges and possibilities presented by artificial intelligence. EILIGIBILITY This postdoctoral fellowship is co-sponsored by the Ethics Initiative and the Global Catholic Research Initiative. The fellowship is open to scholars who are conducting a serious research project related to faith and AI within a global Catholic tradition. Applicants from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply, including—but not limited to—theology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science, and history. This is a one-year postdoctoral fellowship, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. Fellows are expected to be in residence at Notre Dame for the full fellowship period (July 2026 through June 2027 in the first instance). Candidates should have completed all Ph.D. requirements by June 1, 2026 and be within five years of earning their degree. We welcome applications from scholars who are based outside the U.S. RESEARCH SUPPORT Postdocs receive $80,000 each year in salary, $1,000 each year in dedicated research funds, and Notre Dame benefits. They will be joined by a cohort of faculty fellows, graduate fellows, other postdocs, and program chairs from Notre Dame who are pursuing their own ethics-based research projects and collaborate during weekly research seminars and other EI/ECG and GCRI events. Throughout the year, ECG will organize robust programming to further explore faith-based approaches to powerful AI and cultivate collaboration, such as work-in-progress seminars, conferences, research workshops, guest lectures, and social events. The GCRI will also organize regular programming that explores how Catholics, Catholic institutions, and the intellectual, social, artistic, and cultural expressions of Catholic life have circulated—and continue to circulate—across regions, nations, and cultures, shaping and being shaped by the local contexts in which they take root. FELLOWSHIP EXPECTATIONS The postdoctoral fellow is expected to reside in the South Bend area and to remain in residence at the University of Notre Dame during the period of the fellowship (July 2026 - June 2027), except for vacation periods, holidays, and University breaks.  The fellow is expected to be free of their regular commitments so they may devote themselves full time to the work outlined in their research proposal and participate fully in the community of scholars at the EI/ECG and GCRI. This is a co-sponsored position between the two Initiatives. The fellow will serve as a bridge between EI/ECG and GCRI on questions related to AI and the Catholic intellectual tradition, spending approximately three days per week with ECG and two days per week with GCRI. In addition to pursuing a substantial research project on the Catholic Church’s teaching on AI from a global perspective, the fellow will: Serve as a liaison between EI/ECG and GCRI on the shared research theme Provide administrative leadership for a major conference in Rome focused on Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming encyclical on AI, incorporating the DELTA framework as appropriate. (More information about this framework can be found here .) Develop and/or curate DELTA-framed curricular resources for faith communities Participate in weekly ECG seminars and present research twice during the academic year Attend ECG retreats, special events, and engage regularly with fellows and leaders Serve as an ambassador for GCRI and contribute to its postdoctoral community APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS Applications for the postdoctoral fellowship must be submitted through Interfolio and should include the following: Completed online application form Cover letter Curriculum vitae (no more than four pages, single-spaced) Proposal abstract (no more than 400 words) Fellowship research proposal (no more than six pages double-spaced; research proposals may include a works-cited or bibliography page, which does not count toward the six-page limit).

Position will be filled no sooner than September 1, 2026. Stanford University Libraries is seeking a full-time Exhibitions and Engagement Librarian, Silicon Valley Archives to join the Humanities and Area Studies Resources Group.  The Libraries values are rooted in a commitment of mutual respect, the idea that every member of the staff has something to contribute, and that learning is constant.  We seek a team member who is ready to share their skills and perspectives. About Stanford Libraries Stanford University Libraries is a network of over 15 libraries with over 400 employees. We are committed to fueling the teaching, learning and research across Stanford by acquiring, stewarding, and making available a robust collection, currently in excess of 12 million items. Everyone in the organization plays a vital role in fulfilling that objective. Our dedication to discoverability and information management also has us engaged in dynamic global partnerships. We are constantly building and strengthening our organization, and we recognize striving for excellence is a marathon and not a sprint. We are constantly trying to strike the right pace and admit there are times when we find ourselves at a fast jog. While we hope to always find candidates who fit within our organization, what we truly seek is someone who will add to our culture, our profession as well as the greater academic arena. We are invested in the success of our teams and the individuals who represent Stanford University Libraries. About the Position The Silicon Valley Archives (SVA) is a curatorial unit within the History of Science and Technology collections of the Stanford University Libraries. It includes curatorial, acquisitions and interpretive activities and programs under the leadership of the Harold C. Hohbach Curator and the Harold C. Hohbach Historian.  The fundamental purpose of the Silicon Valley Archives is to support research and instruction needs of Stanford faculty, staff, and students, as well as the larger community of scholars. This support is focused on all aspects of the history of Silicon Valley in its many meanings, whether as a particular place with a local history going back centuries or a wider nexus of ideas, narratives, and productive activity. Relevant fields thus include both the history of science and technology and media history, business history and labor history, US history and the global history of capitalism, to mention only a few areas. The SVA’s program is intensively expanding to document communities, forms of labor, media formats and technologies that have hitherto been underrepresented in both the archival repositories and the historical record of Silicon Valley. This is an opportunity to practice Public History and the Public Humanities in a central area of contemporary public concern. The Exhibitions and Engagement Librarian (EEL), under the direction of the Hohbach Curator, is responsible for the engagement activities of the Silicon Valley Archives (SVA) and the Stanford Libraries’ History of Science & Technology Collections. The responsibility for exhibitions includes developing connections with scholars, writers, and community groups to develop a cohesive and continuous schedule of programming. Particular requirements include the  management, design, and installation of physical and interactive installations in Hohbach Hall, the east wing of the Cecil H. Green Library on the Stanford Campus, and the implementation of associated Web and library technologies (such as content management systems) to create online exhibitions, curated collections, and webpages.  Engagement activities include putting on events such as exhibit openings or community discussions as well as engaging faculty, student, and community groups with SVA exhibits and outreach.
