Hi y'all - I'm Dr Jason Scott Robert (pronounced in the French way, "Row-bear") serves as Dean's Distinguished (Associate) Professor in the Life Sciences at Arizona State University.

My teaching and research are at the intersection of the philosophy of biology and human values.

 

I moved to ASU in 2004 from the Philosophy Department at Dalhousie University, where I was Assistant Professor and CIHR New Investigator. I earned the PhD in Philosophy at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario in 2000, where I also earned the MA in 1996. My undergraduate studies were at Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario.

​

My scholarship has mostly focused on the justification, execution, and administration of research, most recently in the neurosciences. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the James S. McDonnell Foundation, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Office of Research Integrity of the US Department of Health and Human Services. 

​

In my spare time, I ride bikes, collect fountain pens and ink, read, write, cheer for the Montreal Canadiens, and watch trashy television.
