Bioethics is a newly formed program in Google Health. We build trust and credibility, both within Google and externally, as a medical device manufacturer, health IT system provider, data processor, and research organization. We work closely with other groups in Google and across Alphabet. Our ambitious goal is to solve big challenges in healthcare that will help people around the globe lead healthier lives.

As a Bioethicist you will work closely with researchers, clinicians, product teams, engineers, and program managers around the world to identify and develop creative solutions to ethical challenges that arise in research and product development. You will work closely with the Head of Bioethics to expand and integrate bioethics into Google Health and health related research and products throughout Alphabet. You will assist with research and product reviews, develop scalable processes for bioethics assessment, and develop educational programs.

In addition, we seek to be a leader in the field of bioethics and healthcare on the development of innovative approaches to bioethical issues in technology. You will have an opportunity to be engaged in normative and empirical research on cutting edge ethical issues in technology, healthcare, and public health.

Google Health has made major advances in healthcare research, such as detecting eye disease more quickly and accurately than experts, planning cancer radiotherapy treatment in seconds rather than hours, and working to detect patient deterioration before it happens with electronic records.

Fundamental research is at the core of Google Health - the multidisciplinary team collaborates with partners to publish novel research in renowned scientific journals. They then work to apply this research into the medical field, whether through Streams, our clinical assistant app, or other clinical hardware and products developed in Google. Working alongside colleagues across Google, you’ll help make this vision a reality.
