Bioethicists

Geisinger’s new Department of Bioethics and Decision Sciences is recruiting bioethicists 
at all faculty ranks. Although faculty in the department pursue more traditional research in their respective fields
of bioethics and decision sciences — both broadly construed — the department’s unique vision is to bring these
fields together to collaborate on research and other activities at the intersection of their interests, especially
on studies of judgments and decision-making in the domains of health, science and innovation. The department
is housed in the Research Institute, part of the Geisinger College of Health Sciences, and is embedded in a
large, integrated health system serving more than 1 million people in central and northeast Pennsylvania,
headquartered in Danville, Pa. Although successful candidates will primarily conduct externally funded research
(both independent and collaborative), there are also opportunities for appropriate candidates to participate in
clinical and research ethics consultation, education and system policy development. There are also opportunities
for part-time clinical practice and secondary appointment to a clinical department for clinician applicants.

Bioethicists: We are especially, but not exclusively, interested in candidates with expertise in the ELSI of genetics/
genomics, AI/data ethics, or other emerging technologies and in candidates with expertise in any subfield who
have empirical training and/or serious interest in incorporating empirical methods into their research programs.
